Story

Christchurch Girls' High School in Christchurch, New Zealand, was established in 1877 and is the second oldest girls' secondary school in the country (Otago Girls' High School is older).HistoryChristchurch Girls' High School was established in 1877, four years before Christchurch Boys' High School. The first headmistress was Mrs. Georgiana Ingle (a daughter of Richard Deodatus Poulett-Harris and half-sister of Lily Poulett-Harris). The second principal Helen Connon (later Helen Macmillan Brown) is better known as she was the first woman in any British university to gain an Honours degree.The school's original building on Cranmer Square, which was renamed the Cranmer Centre, features prominently in the 1994 film Heavenly Creatures based on the 1954 Parker–Hulme murder case involving two students.The school featured in national and international news in 1972 when two students led a "walkout" from school assembly to protest the inclusion of religion in school morning assemblies. At the time, schools in New Zealand were supposed to be secular but this was largely ignored and students were usually told to bring a note from their parents if they wanted to opt out of the religious component of school assemblies.Present dayChristchurch Girls' High School, known to many as Girls' High or CGHS, provides boarding facilities for 95 students from years 9 to 13 at Acland House, located 20–30 minutes walk away from school.

Christchurch Girls' High School was established in 1877 and is the second oldest girls-only secondary school in the country, after Otago Girls' High School. The school stands by the Avon River, on a site it has occupied since 1986. Previously, the area was occupied by a mill that was first built in 1861 by William Derisley Wood, which became known as the Riccarton Mill. It is also next to the Mona Vale Garden park.
Maybe you guys need to educate your kids to not eat lunch sitting on a road to stop everyone else to walk or bike first. Or students parents can do that. Just start from manners and common sense I guess.
If i could put 0 stars i would. Send your child here if you want them to develop an eating disorder or severe mental health issues!!!!
Bullying is everywhere in this school. The more people ive talked to, the more people have also had bullying issues. Girls High felt it better to punish those being bullied then the bullys themselves. No support from the higher ups at school nor the BOT. Waste of time going to them as well. Do yourselves a favor and send your daughters elsewhere.
Students were rude and blew smoke in my face from there vape and tried to kick my dogs as I was walking them on leads as I walked past the school
The education at this school is not the best. They kick students out for no reason, they try to be a private school.
Do the teachers here tell kids climate change is real? Absolute joke lieing to kids
When things get older they do tend to get worse. And 1877 was a long time ago. 11/10 - 'It's okay'
I went to CGHS for five years and all I got was this superiority complex.
Would not recommend.
