Wellington East Girls' College

they make nothing seriously. at this point the students have more control over the teachers. they don’t care about the students and didn’t do anything about the bullying and racism. they just care about the school’s reputation. they care more about your uniform and piercings then your mental health or school work. f u east

Absolute shit please so send your daughter here she won’t like it and there is a whole lot of kids that think it fucnny to have scraps

This school is terrible and racist with unqualified teachers and a lazy (and racist) principal.
Granted there are some great teachers that I've met. But as a black hijabi with social anxiety, diffinently don't recomend this school if you are POC

It’s such a good school, most of the teachers are nice. But when I have my grades for economics one teachers mark my score and he just straight up telling me it’s bad... I already feel so bad when I look at my score, then when I look over to the comments that he wrote for me.... he straight up telling it’s bad and the only things that’s good it’s the picture that I find in google. so if you ever do economic at east, get ready to cry :))

personally love the school! some teachers are a bit iffy and some i would call creepy. but then there are others that openly share how much they care about you and how they want you to succeed and support you. the hauora staff are useless though and always manage to make situations worse. the new building is the worst space to learn in because its so loud and echoey, the learning support at east is fab though and they have really supported me with my learning dissabilities. east only has a couple good maths teachers the rest are awful. in 4 yrs of going to east i have pretty much had to get taught the maths elsewhere.

it's not necessarily an issue with the school more so the system. Their learning method needs to be improved. If your dyslexic, ADHD or just get bored they don't do a great job at keeping you engaged. If you ask for support they are good but so many people need help in class, many students fall behind bcs of this. If they taught in a way that suits everybody there would be fewer questions. The subject selection is weird too. if you chose a subject that isn't what you thought it was you can't really change. you're stuck with the subject for the whole year. The people are not super welcoming either it's hard to find the right people a lot of them are always going on their phones and are pretty self-obsessed. lunchtimes are really boring not very many people talk to each other or interact. There's not a strong sense of community. The school has a song about how great it is. No other schools do this unless there private/private wanna be schools. there's nothing special about this school- the song reminds me of colonisation to be honest. it's an old school so maybe they still think they are superior. but hey if you like the states you'll love this school. who doesn't love a selfish separated individualist culture *insert sarcasm*. some of the teachers are good but most of them don't get the students to take breaks during long classes. for most students neurodiverse or not after being bored/doing for ages your brain stops working and your processing time/work quality goes down a lot we need to take breaks. breaks that keep people engaged and enjoying the class. if they did this students will get more work done more efficiently. they should have a room where students can go if they don't want to go to class or their feeling low. they have wellbeing but it's not somewhere where you can hang out and talk to people. sure then people will just skip class people already skip class! normally bcs the class is overwhelmingly boring or bcs they don't understand. the school needs a social or worker or it needs more social workers and counsellors. they have nice spaces for people with severe mental health issues but we all struggle and have a hard time in our life so there should be a room like that for normal people to go to relax/talk. a lot of the students are educated on human rights to an extent and the school is multi-cultural wich is nice but they should cover more books written by POC in English and they should cover sex ed, racism, sexism, LGBTQ in ako (home room) but they don't.

Good school, teachers are nosy and don’t care about your mental health. Belongings have been stolen many times and I haven’t heard the school doing anything about it!

it’s a good school but some of the kids are doing dodgey stuff and are bullies but the teachers are amazing and always want the best for you no matter what

some of the teachers can fail to listen to students with mental health issues, disabilities, etc. many others are supportive and lovely and make you feel like you have a parent for a 90 minute class. the acceptance of lgbtq students improves the higher up in the school levels you get and there is a qsa. the cultural involement and recognition is good. they push you, sometimes a little too much, but most schools do. the food is tasty if not a little expensive. the new building is fantastic
