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).

Personally, some of the teachers are super understandimng when it comes to mental health but the princaple likes to make it seem that its your fault for feeling the way you feel. The school says they will take action onto bullying but they dont. They talk up a story but never go through with anything they say they're going to do.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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