Pros and Cons
Epsom Girls Grammar: Alright
This school has great resources and allows students to achieve great things. There are many opportunities and it’s very welcoming as a new student. Sometimes it can get a bit much, some students are very mean and there is on going subtle racism that gets shoved under the rug.
An overall alright school.

Toxic people. Teachers are nice but they did t teach well during covid.
Epsom Girls Grammar Review - basic
Good school with nice teachers and great sporting opportunities. There is a lack of school spirit and 7 periods on a Friday is a bit tedious.
Say goodbye to your fun, happy spirit
This school creates a culture of over-achieving and placing our value as people on our academic results. The routine is so monotonous and there is no room for students who need variety and flexibility to help them learn better. Generally, the teachers have a huge superiority complex and treat the students in a degrading, childish way. No self reliance skills get made, doesn’t prepare you for the real world. Also very hard to fit in with the students if you don’t fit in to the typical teenage girl narrative - but regardless of that, I think all students would agree that the atmosphere is toxic.
However, for the most part, the teachers make efforts to be accepting of students identities and support systems for those that are struggling are pretty accessible. Campus and facilities are great.
Overall though, did not enjoy my time here. Burned me out, as it did to many other students. I guess a positive outcome of attending this school is that it made me extra extra grateful for real life, once I left that toxic, over sheltered and constricting bubble.

not a good school
do not recommend they do not care about you or your learning just their image.
great school
Has a wide range of subjects to choose from which helps a lot. When you choose your year 11 subjects that lead onto NCEA, choose carefully because it helps a lot. Eggs information evenings are really good if you need to get information. I think they could have been a little bit better with online learning, and giving us a little more time to focus on our externals. Really nice school, with lots of extra curricular activities!
A great school
Really good school. Heaps of subject options. Great teachers. Nice looking school.
Fantastic!
I love EGGS so much! There's so much opportunity - whatever your dreams and ambitions and amazing people.

However, there are amazing activities and a lot of teachers take bullying very seriously. Some don't. The school nurses suck, but some of the school counselors are amazing.
The classes are generally calm and quiet, and we learn lots. If you have questions, the teachers answer them. There are so many students that you'll definitely find people to be friends with.
The school seems to care more about their image than the students there
