General Description
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School in New Zealand is an independent school at the forefront of girls’ education. With a roll of around 700 girls in Years 7 to 13, including 120 boarders in Years 9 to 13, it is small enough to ensure that individual student needs are met and big enough to offer an extensive range of subjects and programmes.
The school has an excellent record and reputation for academic success, across a wide range of subject choices. Rangi Ruru prides itself on being a safe and friendly school, with a strong pastoral care network and set of school values.
Rangi Ruru offers international students an excellent education and greatly values the global perspective they bring to the school.
