Kelston Girls’ College (KGC) is a single-sex girls state secondary school in Kelston, a suburb in the Waitakere region of Auckland, New Zealand. It was created in 1963 when the roll of Kelston High School (formed in 1954) became too large for the site on the corner of Archibald and Great North Roads.[1] The boys moved to a new site further down Archibald Road and the original site became the home of Kelston Girls’ High School (now Kelston Girls' College).

Name change

In 2004 Kelston Girls’ High School Board of Trustees decided to undergo a change of name. Following consultation with the community, the school was renamed Kelston Girls’ College. At the time Board chairwoman Rosemary Caldwell commented that the name change would help to attract international students.[2]
