Rangi Ruru Girls’ School is an independent (private) school located in the suburb of Merivale, north west of the city, just 15 minutes from Christchurch airport.

The school is one of New Zealand’s top performing schools, recognised for its students’ achievements academically and in many sport, creative and cultural pursuits.

Our teachers are committed to ensuring that students are inspired, challenged and empowered to reach their individual potential and achieve success across a wide range of curricular and co-curricular activities.

Rangi Ruru has a roll of around 700 students in Years 7 to 13, including 126 boarders.

A strong pastoral support network ensures that girls are known and cared for in a safe and friendly school environment.

Our students come from across Christchurch city, urban and rural New Zealand, and around the world, so we all know what it’s like to be the ‘new girl’.

Through their curricular and co-curricular interests, and many schoolwide fun activities, girls soon settle in to their new school and make many new friends.
