Story

Founded in 1891, Whanganui Girls' College has been dedicated to the education of young women for over one hundred years. In that time it has earned an enviable record as a quality and caring school.

Whanganui Girls College has excellent schooling facilities and spacious grounds. Recently refurbished facilities include two gymnasiums, swimming pool and a technology facility with state of the art equipment. We provide a wide range of learning opportunities to extend the horizons of students to a broad range of subjects before senior level specialisation.

Ad Astra Hostel provides a home-away-from-home environment, assisting in the education and social development of all boarders. We provide safe and secure boarding with clear aims, firm guidelines and a warm, caring atmosphere. Hostel supervisors live on the premises and maintain close links with parents.

Whanganui Girls' College is an all girls school. We have classes from Year 9 to Year 13, and also welcome adult students to day classes.
