St John's Girls' School is an interdenominational Christian school and is steeped with wonderful traditions, strong values, and a warm family spirit. We are located in a park-like setting in the centre of Waihopai - Invercargill.
Our values are the important qualities we strive to live by and demonstrate in the way we go about our work, and in the relationships we have with others in our school.
St John’s was established in 1917 by the St John’s Anglican Church. After the depression, when the Church could no longer support the school, a new school board was formed and St John’s Girls’ School became independent. In 1990, St John’s became an integrated school, retaining its Christian base.
Over the years, the school has grown and developed into a high-performing school well-known for its confident, articulate students who have a strong work ethic and who are well-rounded individuals. The small size means that every girl is known by everyone and is cared for. Pastoral care is important, and our small class sizes are important to the well-being and education of our girls.
We are proud of St John’s Girls’ School and welcome the opportunity to share it with you. We invite you to visit us and see the school in action.

Kia ora koutou,
The Disco theme for this year is the 80s!
Tickets for this year’s Disco will be sold on Monday 16 November through until Friday 20 November. The tickets will be priced at $7.00 and will be sold at lunchtime in the library each day.
The money will go towards food, entertainment and decoration for the disco. All profits will go towards a worthy charity.
We will be giving the girls dress-up ideas at each Thursday assembly leading up to the disco.
We look forward to seeing all your creative dress-up ideas!
Thank you for your support; we can't wait to see all the girls at the 80s Disco!
