Principal's Message

In the 1990's, as part of the School's long-term Strategic Vision, a master plan was developed to scope the future growth of the School's academic and sporting activities, without losing sight of the heart and history that are reflected in School House, the School Hall and Chapel.

A Campus Development Plan was initiated, the mandate was to provide world class facilities for our students to achieve their personal best, while at the same time maintaining campus aesthetics and architectural history.

The latest milestone from the Campus Development Plan has been the completion of our beautiful state of the art Aquatic Centre, which provides year round water sports and fitness facilities for the whole school.  This was officially opened on 13 February 2009 by His Excellency, The Honourable Anand Satyanand, Governor General of New Zealand.

The next step, Stage Two, will be the building and development of the much needed all-weather multi-purpose sports turf to accommodate hockey, netball, tennis, touch and physical education.  There will also be provision for on-campus car parking.

The facilities our students enjoy today are the direct result of the generosity and hard work of previous generations of the Diocesan School family.  We invite you to become involved in our ongoing campus development and make a financial contribution to ensure that Diocesan School for Girls remains at the forefront of sporting excellence.
