Summary

Nau mai, haere mai ki te kura o Hastings Girls' High School

At Hastings Girls’ High School, we invite you to join our culturally diverse, vibrant, and welcoming community where girls are empowered to lead, achieve, and make a meaningful impact in the world.

Our student body, representing 23 different cultures, enriches our school environment, and we are proud that our international students play a crucial role in strengthening our school’s global culture. What truly sets us apart from other schools in New Zealand is our strong connection with local iwi and our deep bonds with the Pasifika community. These relationships provide students with a profound understanding and appreciation of New Zealand's rich cultural heritage, with ample opportunities for our international students to experience this through Kapa Haka, cultural events and activities such as poi making, weaving, and preparing food for a hāngi, visits to local marae, as well as performing arts groups for our Fiafia Night.

Our dedicated teaching team is composed of a diverse group of professionals, each bringing unique expertise and compassion to ensure that every student feels valued, understood, and supported. With bilingual staff and students, we facilitate seamless communication and understanding, making it easy for international students to integrate and thrive.

Join us at Hastings Girls’ High School and become part of a community committed to excellence, inclusivity, and global understanding.
