Second-hand Wellington East Girls College uniform for sale - $250 for THE ENTIRE LOT - would cost over $1,000 to buy new!
We’re paying this incredible bargain forward to assist a student starting at WEGC. This uniform has been sitting unused since we bought it from a very kind family last year when our daughter was struggling to choose between WEGC & WHS. She has opted for High 🙂
In great condition (used for two years by one careful owner), this would suit a slim girl:
- Blazer size 12 (AS NEW pockets still sewn shut, only worn a few times)
- long sleeve jumper size S
- sleeveless jumper size S
- skirt size 10
- raincoat size 12 XLong
- scarf
- tie
- PE shirts: 2x size 12; 1x size 14
- PE shorts: 1x size 12; 1x size S
- long sleeve white shirts: 2x size 12
- short sleeve white shirts: 4x size 12 (one brand new still in packet)
Prefer to sell as a bundle - not individual items. Send me a pm if you’re interested 😊 We live in Island Bay. Welcome to try on
Last call! I still have a stack of spare ones, if anyone’s keen?

Megan Sinclair, the new product development manager at Whittaker’s in Wellington, is living that dream – albeit without the chocolate rivers – designing flavours and roasting batches of beans in her little lab on the factory floor.
It’s called the micro-lab, and within its walls there are cupboards of flavours and scents, everything from cake batter to beetroot, a mini bean roaster, and a mixing machine called a melange.
In this, she can make 12 kilogram batches to test flavours, or 45kg batches in the one in the room next door; small quantities compared to the tonnes pumped out by the main factory on a daily basis.

“He is really relaxed now, loves purring and is extremely happy, although is still on guard with unfamiliar noises. Smokey started off being quite afraid of most things, but now is a well-behaved cat who is newly learning to use his scratching post, rather than a carpet! Smokey loves routine and "helps" people by sitting in their laps when they are trying to work or type. He has become an integral part of a piano teaching studio and loves both music and all the students.”
Summer is a great time to enjoy our coast and waterways, but it pays to check first to see if the water is safe to swim in.
Thank-you to everybody who came forward with tips on yellow pōhutukawa. There are certainly more in the region than many people realise.
