International Students

Sports and Activities

Hamilton Girls’ High School has always supported the importance of life beyond the classroom. On arrival, the international department staff will help students to connect to sports that interest them.

Students are encouraged to embrace all activities, broaden their experience, and develop new passions. Being involved in the wider school increases a sense of belonging which leads to higher levels of engagement and motivation.

“I have always wanted to go to New Zealand and pursue my rugby passion. What really drew me here was the fact that the HGHS international team, homestay family and rugby coaches were really enthusiastic and positive towards me, they were excited to have me join the team. It felt good to be welcomed so positively!”
