Founded in 1891, Wanganui Girls' College has been dedicated to the education of young women for over one hundred years. In that time it has earned an enviable record as a quality and caring school.

Wanganui Girls College has excellent schooling facilities and spacious grounds. Recently refurbished facilities include two gymnasiums, swimming pool and a technology facility with state of the art equipment. We provide a wide range of learning opportunities to extend the horizons of students to a broad range of subjects before senior level specialisation.

Ad Astra Hostel provides a home-away-from-home environment, assisting in the education and social development of all boarders. We provide safe and secure boarding with clear aims, firm guidelines and a warm, caring atmosphere. Hostel supervisors live on the premises and maintain close links with parents.

Wanganui Girls' College is an all girls school. We have classes from Year 9 to Year 13, and also welcome adult students to day classes.

Wanganui Girls’ College welcomes International students from all over the world.
