Geraldine High School

About The School

Geraldine High School is set in a small town with a friendly village atmosphere, situated just one and a half hours south of Christchurch on the main highway to Mt Cook and Queenstown, and 25 minutes from Timaru and the Pacific.

Students at our school achieve well academically and also enjoy the relaxed way of life, fresh air, open spaces and genuine Kiwi hospitality that Geraldine and its surrounding rural district has to offer. They can live at a pace to suit their own needs, and take part in activities such as archery, golf, mountain biking, skiing and tramping.
