This email is confirming your child’s enrolment has been accepted. Enclosed in the email will be instructions how to book a Student and Whānau interview – the interviews are attended by both parents/caregivers and your child.
STEP 3:
Student and Whānau Interviews
All new students who have been accepted to SGHS must be interviewed by a member of our Senior Leadership Team prior to starting as a student at Southland Girls’ High School.
This allows the school to begin the building of a partnership that includes the home, the student and the school.
During this conversation, we will learn about your child’s interests, abilities and any additional information that will allow the school to ensure a successful transition to Southland Girls’ High School.
(please refer to your emailed acceptance letter for instructions on how to book the Student and Whānau Interviews).
