About Us

Welcome to Craighead Diocesan, a school well-known for its distinctively warm, friendly, and inclusive atmosphere.

At Craighead, we offer a unique teaching, learning, and living environment where every student is encouraged to discover who they are in a space that embraces, supports, and nurtures them. We take pride in fostering a community where each girl is valued for who she is and inspired to realise her full potential.

High expectations and aspirations are held for all our students, we work closely with parents and whānau to provide opportunities for each young woman to excel in areas that interest and challenge her. Our goal is to offer a balanced education — one that fosters respect and promotes integrity, service, personal excellence and a lifelong love of learning.

Craighead is a special place — one that feels welcoming and family-like from the moment you arrive. It is an absolute privilege to lead this community, and I warmly invite you to visit us and experience the Craighead spirit for yourself.
