AGGS Students off to Silicon Valley

Amazing news. Two AGGS Pūhoro students have been selected to attend the 2020 Āmua Ao overseas experience to Silicon Valley and San Francisco in April. The tauira on this trip will be exposed to overseas companies and gain an understanding of the indigenous people of the area. The experience will also help build their leadership skills and expand their horizons as to what is possible as Māori and global citizens of the world.

Congratulations Kahlia Pai and Jessica Jerry!

Pūhoro STEM Academy was launched in 2016 and is an exciting transformative programme aimed at advancing Māori leadership and capability to deliver a world class science community. The programme works directly with secondary school students and their whānau across the country. It provides students and whānau with mentoring, tutoring, wānanga (experiential learning/field trips) within culturally appropriate settings to help them navigate career pathways into science and technology related industries.

Scholarship Examination Results 2019

New Zealand Scholarship is designed to extend the very best students and to financially reward very able students who are going on to tertiary study.

Scholarship candidates are expected to demonstrate high-level critical thinking, abstraction and generalisation, and to integrate, synthesise and apply knowledge, skills, understanding, and ideas to complex situations.

We are delighted that last year Auckland Girls' students were awarded 5 scholarships. 

Junior Science Expo

At the end of Term 4, our Year 9 and 10 students had a few wonderful opportunities to sample some of the areas of work and study that they might want to pursue when they leave school.  They spent a whole day getting a taste of University life at the University of Auckland;  where our Year 9 girls considered 'Why Languages Matter' and our Year 10 students attended a range of lectures in the Humanities and Mathematics Departments. 
We also held a very successful interactive Science and Careers Expo in our Study Hall.
