As an independent, forward-thinking girls’ school we are committed to preparing girls for a lifetime of learning, leadership and engagement in our global community. We believe in girls. At Ruyton Girls’ School we foster the individuality of each girl in a caring and safe environment, nurturing her intellectual, physical, social and emotional qualities that are essential to flourish. Powerful learning is central to the Ruyton culture, building on our strong academic reputation. We focus on advancing the learning of every girl through the engagement of intellectual curiosity, building their knowledge and skills about how to learn, and supporting them to achieve their personal best and be exemplary citizens. We believe in real-world learning beyond the classroom, collaborating with the wider community to promote growth, discovery and sustainability. We empower our girls to lead lives of purpose with courage, character and compassion. Through the development of values and action-focused learning they are inspired to pursue equity and justice for self and others. By embracing diversity and raising their voices, our girls effect positive change and make a difference.

Prime Mortgage was built on a simple belief: lending should be clear, strategic and centred entirely around the client. With a strong foundation in finance, property and advisory, the firm is dedicated to helping Kiwis navigate the lending process with confidence and clarity. Prime Mortgage specialises in residential and commercial lending, delivering tailored solutions that align with each client’s unique goals – whether they’re purchasing a first home, expanding an investment portfolio, funding business growth or pursuing development opportunities. Every structure is approached with a strategic, results-driven mindset, designed to support both immediate needs and long-term success. What sets Prime Mortgage apart is a commitment to truly understanding each client. The team takes the time to listen, simplify complex scenarios and provide clear, practical guidance at every stage – from initial planning through to settlement, ongoing reviews and beyond. Built on professionalism, strong lender relationships and genuine care, Prime Mortgage has rapidly grown to become a leading and trusted lending advisory, achieving 300% year-on-year growth in settlements and consistently delivering outstanding outcomes and superior client experience.

When I first entered the banking world, I was told to focus on helping people, and everything else would fall into place. I took that to heart and made it my mission to bring exceptional customer service to The Mortgage Girls. Sure, the numbers are important – we’re running a business, after all. But more than closed deals, The Mortgage Girls is a reflection of the passion and care we put into every single client interaction. Ten years and multiple awards later, nothing has changed. We’re still all about continuous improvement to deliver the best possible experience for our clients.
