Newlands College, Wellington | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Grounds are great, the parking though… ATROCIOUS. Multiple sports played at one time, best to arrive 40mins before your expected at grounds as you will be driving in circles for 30+mins waiting for a park.

Worst experience of my life, would never dine there again.

As a genuine review, it took 5 years for me to understand what experiences you may have here are so valuable that it makes you want to not leave. My recommendation is to make the most of your time here; many of the teachers will respect you for who you are, and I hope any future or current students cherish the memories they make here. There are many clubs to check out and you will feel much more of a sense of belonging and community. There are many moments that are worth remembering, and I hope for the best for whoever reads this. kokokara, Qi woFu ketene, sayounara!

Great performing arts community, one of the best in Wellington. Well established dance troupes, choirs, acting groups, and an amazing production put on every year.

The first and most evident is about speakers speaking their perspective, and speaking up about things which they really care about. The second is about youth organisations; and basically for organisations, sharing why- what they do matters to youth in our community. And last, and probably most important: Is having the Wellington community come together and speak about important issues which matter in today’s age.

Sia: Talk us through your theme of the year, and why you chose it?

Anush: Team of- So we made our- We started interviews in January and after a long process, we ultimately decided on a small team consisting- consisting of people who have lots of experience around the event-

Sia: I meant theme.

Anush: Hm?

Sia: I meant theme, like theme.

Anush: Team?

Sia: Theme, like for your-

Keya: Theme.

Anush: Theme! That makes sense. chuckle That makes a lot of sense. Okay, so, the theme of this year is ‘Through My Eyes’. ‘Through My Eyes’ describes ways in which speakers understand their world. In general, the reason why I chose this theme and why I- the team chose this theme is because of the word- like, around the word ‘sonder’. Sonder describes a realisation that each and every person lives a life just as vivid and colourful as you, yourself; and as I walk through streets of Wellington, there’s something that really stood out to me. How so many people I walked past had their own stories to tell, and yet weren’t able to tell them in the way- in any way. By giving them the stage of a TEDx talk, they can speak through their
