    This school is ruining me.

    This school is such a poor learning experience. All they care about is your attendance and they say about waiting 10 or 15 minut3s of class before literally going to the toilet. They should teach students not to be homophobic and transphobic because there is way too many bigots here with the thousands of students there. We barely learn about feminism, the school just speaks more than doing action for it so stop the dress codes. The uniform is stupid because why is the shirt so see through that y...

    Personal experience.

    In my personal opinion and experience as a former student, overall I think you should not send your child to this school. Majority of the staff are disrespectful and rude towards students because they have “Authority”. The education system is not the best, majority of students are failing classes and not passing their NZQA, this factor involves students not trying hard enough as well as the poor teaching ability of the staff. The mental health system within the Hauora centre is not up to the sta...

    horrid

    Avonside Girls’ High School is, in my experience, a terrible place to send your child. The school places far too much emphasis on image and reputation rather than genuinely supporting students’ wellbeing and individual needs. Many students feel overlooked, unheard, and unsupported, especially when they are struggling academically or emotionally. Communication between staff, students, and families is often poor, and concerns raised by parents do not always seem to be taken seriously. The learning...

    Proud Past Student

    This is quite frankly, one of the best school experiences of my life. Growing up, I've had to move a lot, meaning I've changed schools a fair amount of times. Not all schools have been great, but I genuinely enjoyed my time at AGHS. If I could, I would repeat my high school experience all over again.

    my home

    This place is seriously awesome, filled with some of the fiercest, most passionate, and ride-or-die students you'll ever meet. At first, you might think they're a bit mean or bitchy, but let me tell ya, there's so much more to these gals. The students at Avonside Girls High School are like a force of nature. They don't hold back, speak their minds, and stand up for what they believe in. They've got this incredible strength and determination that's just downright inspiring. It's like they've got a "no limits" mindset, breaking through barriers and challenging the status quo. But let me tell you, behind that tough exterior, these girls have hearts of gold. Once you get to know 'em, you'll see the kind of loyalty and support that's off the charts. Actual girl’s girls. They've got each other's backs, lifting each other up when times get tough, and forming bonds that'll last a lifetime. It's like a sisterhood that's unbreakable, where kindness and compassion are the name of the game. Avonside Girls High School is all about celebrating individuality, nurturing passions, and encouraging students to go after their dreams with everything they've got. The teachers and staff are top-notch, too. They're there to guide these incredible young women, helping them become the absolute best versions of themselves.

    .....

    School is alright. The learning space is good and some teachers are great. Some teachers are very rude and don't help with your learning at all
