Fiona Green, principal of St Mary's Diocesan School in Stratford says the open day, held last Tuesday, was a fantastically busy event.
She says she is pleased with the large number of parents who visited the school with their daughters.
"It is great to see parents involved in the process of making an informed choice with their daughters regarding their education."
Fiona says both parents and the prospective students were interested in finding out about the benefits of learning in an all-girl environment.
"A number also commented on our superb NCEA results with all girls who entered Level 1 and Level 2 gaining NCEA in 2015 and 71 per cent of Level 1 girls gaining either a merit or excellence certificate endorsement."
