JUNIORS
Hastings Girls' High School - Ngā Rau Huia O Ākina is recognized nationally as being innovative and courageous with our direction. Our place-based local curriculum design is one example of why our strategic direction is gaining such attention.
We are committed to building a curriculum which is responsive to the interests, skills and strengths of our girls. We know that when we spend time doing the things we love best, we are more confident in taking risks and learning new things, we excel beyond expectation. To achieve this vision, we have created a junior school which is shaped around our students.
