2019 School Uniform

At the start of 2018 we re-introduced a Year 13 school uniform so that our most senior students would be more visible as role models and as student leaders.

This gave us the chance to review and refresh all of our uniform and from 2019 our Year 9 students will be wearing a new uniform, which will be gradually introduced to all levels. Our girls are pictured wearing the new uniform in the heading photos on the website.

All students will wear a striped shirt. Our Year 9 and 10 students will wear a short skirt to the knee and our senior students also have a choice of wearing a long skirt. The uniform also features a stylish new blazer.

Uniform Group which has manufactured the new school uniform will be running the Uniform Shop from the beginning of Term 4 this year. The uniform shop will still be situated in the school grounds.  Opening hours for the School Shop for Uniform purchases for Term 4 2018 are as follows:

Mondays 12.45 to 1.30pm
Tuesdays 12.45 to 1.30pm
Wednesdays 11.00 am to 1.30pm
Thursdays 12.45 to 1.30pm
closed Fridays and Saturdays

AGGS Founding Day 2018

                                                                                                             l to r Dinah Vaiaogo-Ioasa, Charmaine Pountney and Vivienne Brynner with Principal, Ngaire Ashmore 

Each year since 1992 at a special assembly we have honoured three women who have a special connection with our school.  This is an opportunity for us to recognise the achievements of these women and for them in turn to inspire and encourage our current students to work hard so that they too can fulfill their dreams and ambitions.   This year as we celebrate the 130th anniversary of our school, our recipients were, ex-Principal Charmaine Pountney NZOM;  Charmaine was awarded the NZ Suffrage Medal in 1993 for her services to women and she was made a Companion of the NZ Order of Merit in 2002 for her services to education and the community.  At the ceremony Charmaine presented these medals to the school.
