Invercargill-The Southland Girls' High School

Invercargill-The Southland Girls' High School

Invercargill Girls’ High School opened in Ramsay’s Hall, Tay Street on 10 February 1879 under the principalship of Miss E M Hood and with 30 pupils.

Leading Invercargill citizens had been encouraged by the perseverance and success of Miss L N Dalrymple in founding Otago Girls’ High School in 1872. With this example and with the assistance of Sir John Richardson (Speaker of the Provincial Council and MP for Clutha), they had decided their own city should have a girls’ school.

In its history the School has known four homes.
