Wellington Girls' College

To start off this is an only girls school but i see alot of boys there sneaking in without permission its so disrespectful and inappropriate behaviour for our girls. My daughter got her favourite anteater book taken out of her bag because it was “overdue” whatever that means and i got charged for it what bullshark (mind my language).

Lots of expectations on clothing even when you’re out of uniform. When I was there a bunch of girls got sent home for wearing tank tops, even though it wasn’t an issue the years before. There is also a lot of pressure for excellences and not enough mental health support. There are lots of design resources and many different classes available, (no woodworking though).

the school is great, the grounds are great, the teachers are great but there are alot of white stuck up bitches that think a school is not for working hard and learning they think it is some type of playground where their mental health matter (your mental health matters but when you get sad that the teachers tell you to not dress like a hoe you probably shouldn't dress like a hoe because its a school not a club)

this school is awful. some of the counsellors spill uneccesary information to your parents without your consent and the school cares more if you're wearing black socks with the skirt than about your mental health. i go to this school and its super racist and homophobic and transphobic and the principal swears she'll do something about it but nothing ever happens. there's racist graffiti in the bathrooms which again gets nothing done about it. some of the teachers are really lazy our maths teacher last year didn't teach us anything and just went on his computer the whole time. wouldnt recommend it, not great for anyone who's not a wealthy white cishet girl.

I love WGC it's the best school ever
we learn sohcahtoa there!

The principal is very demeaning. Bullying gets handled poorly with alot of things promised but nothing done. Education is standard but they definitely let down there Pasfika girls. Automatically assuming they will perform poorly in Ncea results and need extra help from the get go. Would love to see more diversity in the staff as well.

Most of the teachers are nice and teach well but some of them are really lazy, my maths teacher for example has literally taught me and the class nothing this year and all he does is scroll through facebook (i saw). Before I was good at math, had no problem but now I'm getting a tutor. I don't think the school handles bullying/mental wellbeing that well, they talk about it but never do anything psychically to stop it. They seem very focused on the uniform, if someone has slightly greyed socks they have to go change them etc. I was wearing my bracelet which is quite special to me and I had to take it off because it apparently "violates school codes". In assembly one girl was wearing eyeliner and the principal told her to take it off, god it was great eyeliner. Basically missed the whole assembly. Academically I'd say it's pretty good, could improve some things. Also there is gum underneath every desk and sometimes on the walls..it's mad disgusting. Some students skip classes and the teachers do nothing about it and let them carry on doing it even though they know. It brings the students that are working in groups with them down, for some reason I'm always grouped with them too. School is pretty good but there is a lot of room for improvement.

I find WGC to be a literal shithole that sucks the life out of their students day by day. They claim they "put their students mental wellbeing first" yet do everything in their power to make them miserable. They take away everything that makes their students individual or unique all because of the reputation of the school. Well honestly they care more about what the people who don't go to WGC think about them then what the people who do go to WGC think.

Its kind of average. Good school but has its priorities in the wrong place. Uniform is a very big focus and often is valued over education.

yeah it’s alright if you’re planning on failing

Nice teachers, taught subject very well. Large range of different subjects. Definitely feels like a large family when you go to WGC.
