Career Support
A high-quality high school education is the foundational training ground for life where students build essential skills in discipline, critical thinking, and social navigation. At Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, a quality education is a gift for life. We want our students to leave school with a pathway mapped out, based on their strengths, interests and passion.
Pathway and career planning is essential for students and their families. Navigating the vast amount of information available regarding post-secondary school opportunities can be challenging and having individualised support through this process is key to success.
Pathways and careers education and strategies, along with personal interviews (including practice interviews, resume’ workshops and other training sessions), give students the necessary information and confidence to face a succession of options and decisions they will encounter in the future.
The Careers Centre is open to all students and their parents. Appointments with the Pathways & Careers Strategist can be made via email, or phone. Times are available at interval, lunchtime, and during/after school.
To ensure students are making the most of every opportunity at school, and have set themselves up for life after high school, students should focus on five key areas:
- Academic
- Community Service
- Sport (competitive or recreational)
- Culture (music, dance, drama, Kapa Haka)
- Leadership (does not have to be a formal position)

“Rangi Ruru was a place that encouraged me to grasp every opportunity that came my way, to realise what I loved, and also to learn that I can’t do everything, or be everything, for everyone.”
