History

This school was established in 1963.[1] Previously Blenheim was served by the co-educational Marlborough College, which subsequently continued to serve as Marlborough Boys' College.[2]

Uniform

The uniform is a school tartan skirt, white blouse, school tie, blue jumper, and brown or black flat shoes.

Houses

The Marlborough Girls' College has four houses:

  • Awatere
  • Opawa
  • Kaituna
  • Wairau

They consist of girls Year 9 – 13 and have a prefect leader. Form classes are divided into the various Houses and all form classes from Year 11 are vertical form classes. This provides seniors with more leadership opportunities and students the opportunities to mix with different year groups. Year 9 and 10 form classes are horizontal, which means that Junior students have a smooth start to college.
