Wellington East Girls' College

The educational institution spans multiple buildings on Austin Street, featuring modern learning spaces, a library, art studios, and specialized areas for Māori education.

Founded in 1925 as Mount Victoria Girls College, the institution changed its name to prevent confusion with Victoria University of Wellington.

The school integrates Māori traditions through its name Te Kura Kōhine o te Rāwhiti o Te Upoko o Te Ika and maintains six distinct houses including Sheppard and Tirikatane.

Students from Years 9 to 13 can access comprehensive educational programs with a current enrollment of approximately 1,048 students from eastern Wellington suburbs.

The institution includes He Huarahi Tamariki, a specialized unit supporting 50 teenage parents from Years 9 to 15 to continue their secondary education.
