A school for girls shaped by Christian values, high expectations and a commitment to developing capable, responsible young women.
Welcome to Bishop Gibson High School for Girls.
At Bishop Gibson, we believe that education should nurture both the mind and the character. Guided by our Christian values and our motto, Per Ardua Ad Astra — Through Difficulties We Attain the Highest, we encourage every young woman to approach her future with confidence, integrity and purpose.
Through academic learning, practical achievement, leadership, sport and service, we seek to help our students discover their strengths, develop independence and recognise their personal worth. Compassion, responsibility and self-discipline remain central to that journey.
Our parents, guardians, staff, past students and community partners all play an important role in supporting our girls. Together, we can help them grow into capable young women who contribute meaningfully to their communities.
I invite you to explore our website, learn more about our school and discover the opportunities available to our students. Thank you for being part of the Bishop Gibson community.

Bishop Gibson High School for Girls
The school motto reflects the determination, resilience and high standards expected of every Bishop Gibson student.
Bishop Gibson High School for Girls is an Anglican diocesan-owned, government-aided institution. The school provides a Christian environment that supports the development of well-balanced individuals who can think critically, approach work with the right attitude, pursue academic and practical excellence, and develop independence, reliability and self-discipline. Students are encouraged to be sensitive to the needs of others, recognize the importance of moral and spiritual growth, understand their personal worth, and function as productive citizens.
Our mantra, school song and uniform express the values and shared identity of the Bishop Gibson community.
I am proud to be a Bishop High School student! My School records is my story. My actions during my tenure at this noble institution will determine the way my story ends. I will therefore portray character traits that will guarantee my success and are befitting of a young lady of the highest class.
Verse 1
On a gentle rising hilltop
In this cool and pleasant town,
Stands a school of great distinction,
Bishop Gibson High,
Founded by a man of vision
With a mandate bold and clear, educate our
Daughters well,
Make them wise and strong and brave.
Our purple and lavender uniform is a visible expression of school identity. Students are encouraged to wear it neatly and with pride, reflecting the respect and self-discipline valued in our school community.
