Lack of care in school
The english teachers here suck. Thats to put it lightly, they even mark using AI and get AI to make some of their practice questions and feedback with AI too. They focus so much on students not using AI, but clearly use it too much. The marking they do for the work also is misleading as in the mock exams they give you a higher grade and you end up getting a low grade after the external results come back. Also they made a old teacher teach a year 12 class (which is clearly one of the most importa...

Don't recommend this school
I am currently a year 12 student at this school. The first year at Hghs wasn't too bad.I got bullied and some teachers were helpful and were there for me. Year 10 wasn't as bad as this year but still wasn't the greatest. I believe that some staff and the principle only cared about the attention the school gets and its reputation. They care about what us students look like and how we show of our uniform more than our education. They say to us show us who you really are and be ourselves but as s...

Worst school
This is by far the worst school I've ever been to. Firstly, the teachers either don't know what they're doing, or they pick favourites and prioritise teaching them over the rest of the class. The teachers also don't care about how you feel. Sure, we're only students, but the fact that I've had to sit through a number of assemblies where the teachers will say stuff like "Ask your teacher for help if you're struggling in class, they will help you!" No, and that leads to the next thing I'm going...

Don't send your girls here...
I attended HGHS from year 9-13. From years 9-11, I was a top excellence student. Heavily involved in extra-curriculars, always asking for extra work. Until my parents divorced. I began failing exams, missing classes. The school offered absolutely no support. In fact, I was basically forgotten. I went from "teacher's pet" to getting away with absolutely anything because no one cared enough to ask why I had changed. Don't send your girls here.

the most honest review ever (2023)
they care about if you have more than one earing than your actual mental health, im in year 10 and my biggest regret is coming here. ive asked to be moved class multiple times and the deans do nothing. the only thing i did enjoy is the community the people here are nice but only when your are year 9 or very smart. dont go to this school if you dont want to feel worthless!!!!! also the canteen is so expensive.

average
bullying and mental health was not taken seriously. most teachers had no consideration for how students learnt or when they were different. also no where to sit inside that wasn't on the floor during breaks even when raining :/

Good social, poor standards
The social life is good as there but it doesn't really encourage excellence. in my experience there are lots of opportunities to get involved such as house events, sports, etc and the structuring of tutor/whanau groups makes it easy to make and stay in contact with friends. However, there isn't really a push for excellence and teachers encourage students to achieve rather than excel. We only got 6 scholarships this year compared to Hamilton Boys 70 or so which is very dissapointing to see such a difference between the two schools.

HGHS review
I am currently year13 at HGHS in my 5th and final year. HGHS has provided me with so many opportunities within sports and academic life. I was able to complete level 2 science a year early and allowed me to excel in other subjects that I thought I’d never get the chance to try out. As a prefect now, I want to make the community realise how much our school has improved and continues to do so. The only reason I give it 4 stars not 5, is because I live at the beach, and coming into Hamilton to spend my days almost kills me not being near the ocean. Other than that, HGHS provides.
