Rangi Ruru Girls' School

Rangi Ruru Girls' School Rangi Ruru Girls' School is an independent school for day and boarding girls in Years 7-13. Education is a gift for life.

At Rangi, we know that every girl’s pathway is unique, and to enable her to be her best not only requires dedication, hard work, and commitment but support across all aspects of life. Rangi offers girls a place to feel truly at home, a place where girls feel comfortable to be themselves, and a place where girls are given the opportunity to be the best versions of themselves.

🎶 What a wonderful day of singing! 🎶

Rangi Voices had a wonderful time at the Encore Choral Festival earlier this month, joining choirs from five other schools.

Thank you to Christ's College, Canterbury for hosting the event, and to all the choir directors for their dedication and hard work in preparing their students to such a high standard. 👏

It was a fantastic opportunity for our ākonga to come together with other school choirs, share their love of singing and perform as part of this fantastic Christchurch choral festival. 🎵✨

🎭 Coming to Rangi Ruru next week! 🎭

Meet Meg Morris. But you can call her Moo.

At 22, Meg is stumbling through yet another job interview. We’re then taken back through her life, from childhood to her twenties, as joy, friendship, heartbreak and hope shape the person she becomes.

Written and performed by Rangi Ruru alumna Emma Cushing (Class of 2014), this acclaimed one-woman show comes to our Merivale Lane Theatre 1–3 October.

🌿 Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori | Māori Language Week 🌿

What a wonderful week celebrating te reo Māori, mātauranga Māori and te ao Māori. Our kura came together to celebrate through music, movement, creativity and connection. 💚

Our ākonga enjoyed a special visit from kaiwaiata Henare Kaa, who shared his personal journey with te reo Māori through songwriting, along with music from his band, Dillastrate . They also got involved in a game of Ki-o-Rahi and displayed incredible creativity in their class waka door competition, exploring the meaning and values behind their waka while using recycled materials.

A wonderful week of learning, connection and celebration as we continue to embrace te reo Māori and te ao Māori at our kura. 🌿
