Welcome to a community where tradition meets a bold, forward-thinking future. Located in the heart of New Zealand’s capital, Wellington Girls’ College (WGC) is more than just a school: in the narrative about our new Te Reo name, Te Atiawa said ‘it is a beacon of hope, guiding future generations with wisdom, compassion and unwavering fortitude’.

Choosing a school is about finding a community that resonates with your values and aspirations. At WGC, we are deeply proud of our history as a leading school for young women in Aotearoa, but we are equally excited about our future.

While our academic results consistently sit among the highest in the country, a Wellington Girls’ College education is measured by more than just credits. It is found in the courage of a student standing up for social justice, the teamwork displayed on the sports field, and the creativity expressed in our bustling Performing Arts department.

We are a “city school” in every sense—dynamic, diverse, and connected. We encourage our students to look outw

ard, to engage with the world, and to leave us as confident individuals ready to contribute to their communities with integrity and energy.

In 2028 our building programme will be complete and our students and staff will finally be in an environment they deserve – it’s been a long time coming!

We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our academic programs, co-curricular life, and the vibrant spirit that makes WGC so special.

Nau mai, haere mai—we look forward to meeting you.
