Samoan Fia Fia Night

We have been getting a lot of queries from parents as to whether the Samoan fia fia night is going ahead tonight, 16 March. This is to confirm that it is, in the Dorothy Winstone Centre, starting at 6.30 p.m.

Senior Waka Ama Regatta

We had great success again with our Waka Ama teams at the Auckland Secondary School Waka Ama Regatta on  29 February, where we placed within the top 6 in all categories.

Special congratulations to our AGGS Gold team which came first in the Championship final of both the 500 metres and the 250 metres races. 

Pictured below is the whole AGGS team. The girls will be off to Rotorua on 30 March to compete in the National Secondary School Waka Ama Championship Regatta. 

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.

Lock Down Exercise

We have completed our lock down exercise and all students, staff and persons on-site are safely accounted for.  Everyone did extremely well and responded to instructions.  A notice will be going out to parents/caregivers tonight to provide some more information about our emergency lock down procedures.

We will be sending a notice/email out tonight providing information on what has occurred today.  I would like to personally thank you for your support while we conduct these practices.  Kind regards – Ngaire Ashmore, Principal 

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.
