Story

Sacred Heart Girls' College had its origins in a school and boarding facility called Sacred Heart College, founded by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions in 1884. The school was next to the present St Joseph’s Church in New Plymouth and catered for primary & secondary students. In 1960 the school moved to its present site and was renamed Sacred Heart Girls’ College. The boarding hostel for up to 78 boarders, now called "Elizabeth House", was added in 1970.The college, which is under the control of the Mission College New Plymouth Trust Board, became an integrated secondary school, with an attached intermediate school in 1982. Buildings erected since then include the library, staff room and administrative facilities known as the Centennial Wing, a Mathematics block, Religious Studies block and Graphics workshops and a new 5-classroom block (including soft materials technology). The college is situated in spacious grounds which include tennis courts, netball courts and sports field.The current principal is Mrs Paula Wells.Houses Barbier (Blue)Vianney (Red)Lourdes (Green)Chanel (Yellow)Sources Ernest Richard Simmons, Brief history of the Catholic Church in New Zealand, Catholic Publications Centre, Auckland, 1978.

A reasonable school if the student fit into the educational "box". If not they will struggle. Many of the classes are too big, 35 students in some. The teachers just help the brighter kids get further ahead while those that struggle are left to flounder. In addition to not providing assistance the school actively discourages these kids to not take certain subjects in the knowledge they will probably fail and make the all important NZCE results dip. In some cases they actually encourage the child to leave the school so they are out of their hair. Not very Christian actions but then again the overriding feeling is they want your money first and to educate your child second.
I loved going here. it was the best school. i spent 3 years here and i loved it ! the toilets were very cleans. the toilets were my favourite place to go cry when people called me fat. i also loved the toilets bc girls were in there
This school has an unfortunate problem a teacher by the name of miss valentine goes around making fake assualt allegations of students that she doesnt like getting them suspended due to the complaint process read the other reviews that will explain how it works shealso confiscates students phones that she asked them to get out for research just to be cruel my advice watch your back SHGC out there
This school is not good by any means for starters there is a teacher called miss valentine who goes around pressing fake assualt charges on students and confiscating students phones that she asked people to get out for classwork she continuesly abuses her power and interferes with good faith of students and staff
i love the scent in the toliets makes me feel at home
In my expirience the complaint system was flawed where you could make an official complaint against someone and regardless of whether it was true or not you would get them suspended
