Best school in Wellington!
This is an amazing school! They give students so much freedom to follow their passions and find new ones too! The social scene here is great. I genuinely think this is a better school, with a better system for choosing classes, than any of the other ones in the area. The only reason I would give something four stars instead of five would be because there are just one or two exceptions.

AWESOME SAUCE
Really cool, super inclusive, great clubs, and no one is looking at you when you’re walking down a hallway. In the best way possible, no one cares about you and it’s the best feeling.

Save yourself from Wellington high
I hate this school. i hate the teachers, i know more then them and the subject selection is stupid. The students are odd some are a bit weird or shady. The building smells like mold and vape smoke. The food got me sick for a WHOLE week. Just about to transfer.

Excellent school.
A great school and learning environment with dedicated teachers. Did enjoy my time at WHS and still have good and positive memories.

Loved it.
I loved my time at wellington high, I felt I was supported and accepted and was pushed by my teachers to achieve the best results possible in my classes, and ended up getting excellences in most areas. The science department (especially physics) is excellent, as is the art department.

Good school with certain flaws.
Wellington high can often be a mixed bag. It offers a unique laid back environment for learning, I found it really enjoyable and during my last few years. Allowing students to leave school grounds from year 11 onwards means I didn't associate school with negative, controlling connotations. On the other hand there's no sense of school unity, there's aspects of nasty and toxic culture and a fair amount of bullying.

WHS as seen by an enthusiastic year 13
Like everything, schools work for some people and don't for others. This school works for me. I have found so many friends, I have learned so much about myself and the world, and throughout the trials and tribulations of being a teenager I have always felt that WHS was there for me. As a junior I made a lot of mistakes and learned from them, there were periods with many friends and periods with few, and I discovered that "Hey! I can actually enjoy Maths!" (An entirely alien idea at the time). I spent year 11 figuring out NCEA and joining as many clubs as I reasonably could. Year 12 was chaotic, Covid-19 certainly made sure of that, but despite the pandemic I made many new friends and eventually found myself applying for leadership opportunities and trying to implement changes in the school. I am now a year 13. My time at WHS is coming to an end. I hope that these past five years aren't the best time of my life because that would mean it's all down hill from here but I like to think that Wellington High has given me a good solid foundation of experience on which I can build my life.

The teachers are rude, they don’t teach any discipline or educate those with harmful opinions.

Worst school
Wellington High gives no shits about the students there. Any kid who tries standing up for themselves just gets stood down or expelled.

If you're being sexually harassed or bullied even for a very extended time the school councellors/mediators/deans won't care and will put off events between the parties in conflict that may help to potentially fix things. Many teachers don't understand how to deal with mentally ill/disabled students despite the school having an inclusivity policy to these types of mental states. The physical aspects of the school are also not great, constant leaks and mold in classes and linkwells along with ext...
