Yes, we hold Open Day Tours – both students and parents are welcome to attend. You can expect to be at WGC for approximately 60-90 minutes. Whilst this day is geared towards incoming year 9 students and their parents, years 10-13 are also welcome to attend. Unfortunately we are unable to provide on-site parking
Unfortunately if you can’t make it to Open Day we are unable to offer personal tours unless you are relocating to Wellington from elsewhere in New Zealand or overseas.
No. We are not able to offer scholarship places at Wellington Girls’ College.
We cannot process an application in advance on the basis of a signed tenancy or settlement. You must be resident at the enrolment address before your child can be enrolled and provide proof of this.
This depends on where they spend the majority of their time while the school is open for instruction. In order to satisfy the school of this you need to supply a copy of the custody agreement or legal documentation with the enrolment application. If this isn’t available a signed letter from both parents advising the current living arrangements is required to be submitted at the time of the enrolment application.
No. Students can only live with their parent or legal guardian.
In 2017 Wellington Girls’ College was asked by the Ministry of Education to review its enrolment zone with a view to eliminating the discrepancies between the written description of the zone and the map they created some years ago. The proposed zone is very specific now, to reduce the confusion that has existed previously.
Students should remain living within the zone for at least 24 months from the date they start at the College. In the case of a short term tenancy agreement or anyone who moves into the zone at the time of or just prior to enrolment (enrolment is deemed to be the first day of school) on-going proof of address will be requested.
No. The ballot is carried out under a Justice of the Peace and is akin to Lotto, with numbered balls coming out of a hopper.
If you want your child to remain enrolled at Wellington Girls’ College you need to seek permission before moving out of the zone. The Wellington Girls’ College Board considers all such applications on a case by case basis and in certain circumstances will allow students to continue their schooling. Others will be advised that a move out of zone will jeopardise their child’s continued enrolment.
