CULTURAL  ACTIVITIES

Our school has an extremely strong Music and Drama extra curricular programme.  There are always groups practising and competing throughout the year.

Our jazz band is also an award winning one. Their toe-tapping renditions of well-known compositions are much appreciated by their audiences.

Our students also have a strong reputation in the Sheila Winn Shakespeare competition.

HOUSE ACTIVITIES

Our house system is an important and vibrant part of Nelson College for Girls.  Every student belongs to one of our five houses – Dun, Maitai, Maungatapu, Waimea and Whangamoa. Throughout the year the Houses compete in a variety of sporting and cultural activities to earn points to be the top House of the Year. There is much fun and enthusiasm in this competition.
