WELLINGTON GIRLS’ COLLEGE BOARD

A new Board was elected in September 2022 The Board meets twice a term, usually on the last Thursday of the month at 5.30pm. Dates are on the school calendar on the website.

PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION 

The College has a small but active Parents’ Association. It aims to foster parent-college links and to assist wherever possible. They run the Second hand uniform sales which are always very well attended. The Social Committee organises events such as the student dances and senior balls.

Profits from all of these activities are returned to the school to upgrade facilities or resources that benefit the students, such as helping set up the Nurses’ clinic and providing new drinking fountains.

WHāNAU 

This group supports the teachers of Te Reo Ma-ori, students learning Te Reo Ma-ori, Ma-ori students, the Kapa Haka group, speech competitions and waka ama. They also give valuable information to the school about how we can support them and their tamariki at school and beyond.

PASIFIKA NAVIGATOR GROUP

Our Pasific families meet once a term to spend time together and learn more about the school and the opportunities available to their daughters. They also support the students preparing for the annual Tu Tagata festival and celebrate Pacific cultures at our Fiafia night.

COACHES AND MANAGERS 

Many of our parents offer to coach or manage one of our numerous sports teams or cultural groups. We also have several parent committees that help to run an entire code.

SCHOOL DONATIONS 

Parents and caregivers invest in their daughter’s future through making a valuable contribution by way of a donation to the College. The money received from donations enables us to provide additional staffing and resources which are not covered by government funding.

ALUMNAE 

We maintain a database of our alumnae. We distribute an annual newsletter that links the school and its former students. These are sent by email each year and are also on the website. Alumnae often call at the school and some class groups hold reunions here from time to time.
