Our School
Student Supports
There are a variety of support services available for our students at Marlborough Girls’ College. We recommend that students and whānau new to our kura look through our Welcome Guide for Students and new whānau. This resource can answer most of your questions. After students have started they will have their whānau teacher to connect with most days, and a Dean is allocated for each year group to provide additional pastoral support.

Sick Bay
The Sick Bay is based in the Student Office beside Guidance. Any students who are unwell must report to the Student Office if they wish to go home. Staff will then phone the student’s approved caregiver (this is a caregiver that a parent or legal guardian has given the college to put on the student’s personal file) to arrange for the student to be picked up. It is important that this procedure is followed to ensure safety for all students.
All students are aware of the Sick Bay procedure and we ask everybody to support us in managing this area and process by ensuring students report directly to the Sick Bay in the first instance rather than calling home.
If students are unwell – please keep them at home, this helps prevent the spread of infection!
Canteen
There is an onsite Canteen which is managed and run by Libelle Group. Students can purchase food at interval and lunch time and the canteen takes cash or EFT-POS transactions.
