Nga Tumanako o Kahurangi Alumni Survey

Dr Tania Ka'ai has been contracted by the Board of Trustees to undertake a review of Ngā Tūmanako o Kahurangi. We extend an invitation to all past Kahurangi students to complete this survey. The purpose of the review is to understand the place of Kahurangi inside Auckland Girls Grammar School, and:

• To understand Kahurangi’s historical significance from its establishment 30 years ago, in order to raise and ensure high student achievement outcomes; and
• To understand Kahurangi’s relevance in contemporary times and what changes need to be made to make it relevant and ensure high student achievement outcomes.

Year 13 2018 Uniform

In 2018 our Year 13 students will be wearing school uniform.  Our Year 13 students are our student leaders and a uniform will  clearly identify them as such. 

The only change to our current uniform for our Year 13 girls to our other students will be a different blouse and a tie.  Pictured below:
