Homestay families needed
We have a fantastic group of international students arriving at the start of Term 3, mainly from Italy and China. The students have excellent English language.
If you have a spare room, please consider becoming a homestay family. International students help us create a diverse and vibrant school community and provide a valuable global perspective in our classes. Our international students and you!
Receive great support from our international team at Wellington College. International students need their own room and three meals each day.
Host families receive $300 each week. Please email Kathi Scott - k.scott@wc.school.nz if you would like to explore this idea further.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
