The Wellington Girls’ College Hall of Fame was established in 2006. It has many purposes:
- To raise awareness of the role of business in New Zealand by regularly exposing students to successful ‘locally grown’ role models.
- To give an opportunity for young people to learn more about working for themselves and to enable them to be involved in researching the prospective member.
- To celebrate the business success of past members of the school community in a public fashion.
Please contact us if you know of any former Wellington Girls' College students who you feel should be honoured.
