Choosing Your Daughter´s School

Welcome to St Cuthbert's College, a place where remarkable things happen every day, where girls grow, with support, encouragement and a myriad of experiences into great young women.

Like us, you will want your daughter to have a remarkable future.
As Principal of the College and as a mother, I know that choosing your daughter's school is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent and you will want to consider many elements in making that decision.

You will want to understand what guides us, what we call the St Cuthbert's College Compass.
Academic performance will be a key factor and you will be interested to know that  New Zealand Independent Schools top the world, as will be the opportunities for your daughter to have challenging satisfying experiences in sport, music, drama and cultural activities.
Two years ago the College launched into a thrilling new initiative with a remote campus, Kahunui, in the Bay of Plenty.

You may be interested in recent achievements by our students. League tables provide one measure of a school’s effectiveness and must be considered in relationship with other student achievement data. As teacher quality is the greatest impact on student performance you will want to know about our teachers.

You may want to know more about how service to the community is valued.
You may want to know what current students and recent old girls think of their time at the College.
You may have questions about which universities in New Zealand and international universities St Cuthbert's College girls go to and which careers recent graduates embark on.
What others say about St Cuthbert's College may be helpful to you.

Understanding our international reputation and our international programme may be significant for you, as may be the latest research on girls' education and the
proven benefits of single-sex education.
