Scholarship Examination Results 2019

New Zealand Scholarship is designed to extend the very best students and to financially reward very able students who are going on to tertiary study.

Scholarship candidates are expected to demonstrate high-level critical thinking, abstraction and generalisation, and to integrate, synthesise and apply knowledge, skills, understanding, and ideas to complex situations.

We are delighted that last year Auckland Girls' students were awarded 5 scholarships. 

Junior Science Expo

At the end of Term 4, our Year 9 and 10 students had a few wonderful opportunities to sample some of the areas of work and study that they might want to pursue when they leave school.  They spent a whole day getting a taste of University life at the University of Auckland;  where our Year 9 girls considered 'Why Languages Matter' and our Year 10 students attended a range of lectures in the Humanities and Mathematics Departments. 
We also held a very successful interactive Science and Careers Expo in our Study Hall.

Well-Being Garden Project

In the last week of term, our Sustainability class collaborated with MIT's Horticultural Department  to create a well-being garden for the mental health unit at Auckland Hospital.
The girls working with MIT students built and planted planter boxes  before they were transported to the hospital at lunchtime.

In the afternoon, the Year 12 students completed their report on how this collaborative action contributed to a sustainable future, while the Year 13 students used what they learned in the collaborative project to develop and report on how this could be developed into personal action for a sustainable future. 

• Our Sustainability prefects Claudia and Gwyneth also participated in the day and reported on the project as evidence for AGGS Green Gold Enviroschools certification.

The project is now complete and planters have been relocated to Auckland Hospital Well-being Garden.
