Nelson College for Girls
WELCOME TO NELSON COLLEGE FOR GIRLS
IN SUNNY NELSON, NEW ZEALAND.
Nelson College for Girls is a school with a very proud history. For more than 140 years, we have produced young women who have gone into the world with confidence and a sense of pride in achieving to the best of their abilities.
Often they have been inspired by the successes of the women who have preceded them. Our motto 'Pietas, Probitas et Sapientia' - Loyalty, Honesty and Wisdom - sums up well the values and essence of our school.
