Southland Girls' High School is a state girls' Year 7–13 secondary school in Georgetown, Invercargill, New Zealand.

The school was established in 1879. It is a single-sex state school for years 7 to 13[3] with a roll of 1041 students as of August 2024.[1] From the 1880s to 1907 it shared a site with Southland Boys' High School and senior girls attended some classes at the boys' school. It moved to the current site in 1947.[4]

It consists of two main school blocks, one the former Tweedsmuir Junior High School. Students of all ages are mixed around the classrooms to involve all students thoroughly in school life, and one uniform is worn by all year levels. The students also wear red shoes with their uniforms. Two-yearly musical dramas are produced in conjunction with Southland Boys' High School.

The 2005 NZQA report commended the school and staff for the very good practices and consistently high standards.[5]

A new school gymnasium was officially opened in 2007 by Sport and Recreation Minister Trevor Mallard.[6]

Enwood House is the Southland Girls' High School hostel for boarders between years 7 and 13. Enwood House provides 24 hour care for boarders with night staff on duty at all times. Girls can stay Monday to Friday or full-time, and short term stays are available.

Since its establishment in 1879, Southland Girls' High School has had 20 principals, with early head teachers being known as lady principals. Until 1905, the school was under the control of the rector of Southland Boys' High School.[7] The following is an incomplete list of school principals:
