We are very proud of the achievements of our Senior School students.

At Senior School we believe education is about independence, a thirst for knowledge and a worldview underpinned by respect for others and curiosity about the world around us.

Our students have the unique opportunity to choose from two education pathways, both of which offer a wide range of subjects to suit the individual interests and strengths of each girl. Whichever path they choose, every students will learn Ethics and Philosophy to help her develop a deeper understanding of critical thinking.

Scholarship

Students at Diocesan School for Girls continue to gain exceptional results in New Zealand’s top scholarship examinations.

In total Diocesan students were awarded 43 scholarships in 2022. Five of these scholarships were achieved with an ‘outstanding’ grade. The scholarships were spread across faculties and reflect outstanding achievements across the broad spectrum of subjects.

Year 13 student, Amie Cummack was our top scholar, receiving four scholarships.

Our 2021 graduates began their tertiary studies all around New Zealand and the globe last year. They were offered in excess of $1.3 million in university scholarships. In New Zealand this includes every New Zealand University and several international universities including University of Southern California, Indiana State, and University of Hawaii.

We are very proud of the results that our students have achieved through their hard work and dedication and thank the teaching staff for all the work they do to support and nurture the girls in their learning journeys.
