Southland Girls' High School is a girls' secondary school in Invercargill, New Zealand. The 2005 NZQA report commended the school and staff for the very good practices and consistently high standards.[2]
The school admits a small number of international students. A musical drama is produced in conjunction with Southland Boys' High School.
In 2006 a pupil of the school was poisoned after being duped into eating a fake lolly.[3]
A new school gymnasium was officially opened in 2007 by Sport and Recreation Minister Trevor Mallard.[4] The same year student teams won two national titles in synchronised swimming, with pupil Caitlin Anderson qualifying to represent New Zealand internationally.[5]
