Welcome to NPGHS
Welcome to New Plymouth Girls’ High School
New Plymouth Girls’ High School is a decile seven state girls’ secondary school of around 1,300 students. Founded in 1885, the school combines traditional values with an acute appreciation of the needs of young women in the 21st century.
The school is set in eleven hectares of attractive grounds with native trees and buildings incorporating architectural styles from early colonial to contemporary. A modern on-site boarding Hostel, Scotlands, provides quality care and accommodation for up to 145 students from Taranaki and beyond.
Opportunities are provided for all learners to learn and achieve in an inclusive and supportive environment.
Our mission is to provide a range of dynamic academic, cultural, sporting, and personal learning experiences through quality teaching and supportive environments. Each young woman will have the opportunity to discover and develop the necessary knowledge, skills, values, and character to enable her to fulfil her potential.
