Palmerston North Girlsʼ High School
Secondary school in Palmerston North, New Zealand
Palmerston North Girls’ High School provides an outstanding education for young women from Palmerston North, the wider Manawatu region and a range of overseas countries. We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment that enables students to become independent, curious learners and future problem solvers. We maintain high standards of achievement and have high expectations of behaviour. Our results at all levels are significantly outstanding and higher than national averages.
Our school provides a wide curriculum that includes a full range of subjects at all levels with an expectation that students will also be involved in extracurricular sporting, artistic and/or cultural activities. In addition, our school provides opportunities for students to be involved in extension opportunities to further their knowledge and skills.
Girls at all levels are encouraged to take up leadership roles. These opportunities help them develop greater self-confidence and become healthy risk takers within our supportive environment. Many of our students also gain significant scholarships to support further study at tertiary institutions. We invite you to take the opportunities we offer to visit our school and consider how we may form a learning partnership to achieve the best outcomes for your daughter’s future.
About Palmerston North
Palmerston North is Manawatū’s university city and logistics hub. It combines education and research with sport, parks and riverside trails, and serves a wide rural region.
Manawatū-Whanganui Region
The Manawatū-Whanganui Region spans a large part of the lower North Island, containing a mix of coastal plains, river valleys such as the Manawatū River, small cities like Palmerston North, and extensive farmland. This region balances rural character with educational hubs, and is often more affordable than the larger metropolitan centres — attractive for schools wanting to position themselves as accessible. For international students, the region offers a quieter but rich cultural and outdoor environment, with pastoral landscapes, bush, and a strong sense of community.
