A word from our Principal                          

At Waikato Diocesan our students experience an innovative and forward-looking education where their individual needs, academically, spiritually, and in extra-curricular pursuits, are met.

Our extra curricular programmes not only enhance and balance academic pursuits but help to develop our young woman into confident, independent decision makers.

We provide a dynamic and technology-rich learning environment which gives all students opportunities for success, self-discovery and leadership.

We encourage our students to have high expectations of themselves, to achieve great success and thrive in our supportive, positive school environment.

Waikato Diocesan has a nationally respected academic tradition. The school is recognised for its high marks in NCEA examinations with students consistently producing results above the national average.

All experiences at Waikato Diocesan are enhanced by our beautiful central location and excellent facilities.

With a Waikato Diocesan education you are well placed to make the most of the opportunities and challenges that life presents.

We encourage families to get involved in school life so that they can experience our unique spirit and sense of community that makes Waikato Diocesan special.

Come and experience the ‘Dio Difference’.

Mrs Vicky McLennan

Principal, Waikato Diocesan School for Girls
