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.

Hello all
Firstly I would like to say thank you to everyone who has requested additional raffle books, there are still a few left, so if you think you can sell more, doesn’t necessarily need to be a whole book please email stjohns-pta@stjohnsgirls.school.nz
Additionally thank you to all that have returned their books and money. Can we please have all books and payments returned by the 20th March. We will not be able to draw the winners until all books and money has been returned.
Just a reminder this raffle is for a voucher to the supermarket of the winners choice.
Thanks again for your support.

The Year 8 House Captains and Deputies would appreciate two or three parent volunteers to come to House Bonding Day to assist with the BBQ lunch tomorrow. Our usual BBQ helpers are away for the day tomorrow.
This would involve:
The BBQ pick-up time at school would be 11:15am, so we can have lunch ready for the girls by 12:15pm. We should be finished with the BBQ by 1:00pm.
If you can help, please reply to this message using the link below, or email Holly at principal@stjohnsgirls.school.nz

Parent Teacher Interviews are taking place on Wednesday,18 March and Thursday,19 March. The purpose of these interviews is to set learning goals for your daughter for the first half of the year. There will be an early school finish on Wednesday [school finishes at 2:00pm]. Noeleen Wilson will be running her after school care programme from 2:15pm.
We encourage our girls to attend these interviews with their whānau; however, you are welcome to attend the meeting without your daughter if you wish to discuss any matters privately.
We look forward to working together to support your daughter's learning journey this year.
Bookings for interviews can be made through the 'bookings' function on the Skool Loop app.
We look forward to seeing you next week!
