The school is built on the top of Bluff Hill and has been a significant icon in Napier for 125 years. The school has high academic and personal expectations of students. Results in national examinations exceed those of other similar schools year after year and large numbers of students are involved in co-curricular activities. There is a huge variety of opportunities available in sport, music and cultural areas. Students are encouraged to participate and many also represent the school at regional and national levels of competition. Vertical forms and a House system ensure students mix with a wide variety of people of different ages and interests. They develop confidence and personal skills and build strong loyalties to their school. Staff enjoy the friendly, respectful relationships with students and the caring supportive environment. Napier Girls' High School places a strong emphasis on teaching and learning. There is a Thinking Skills programme and all Year 9 students experience all the available subjects from which to make choices in the senior school. It provides excellent facilities and a safe environment for students to develop the skills necessary for whatever choices they want to take on in the future. Students are encouraged to make the most of all the opportunities on offer and enjoy their time here.
