Whitby Collegiate is the first progressive, independent, co-educational school in the Wellington region for Years 7-13

These are the years that set students up for life and this is the school that can do that. We’re the first co-educational, independent school in the Wellington region from Years 7-13, giving us a rare ability to create a place where all students are happy, generous achievers.

We provide individual care in a supportive environment and offer a wide range of subjects and opportunities to students. 

Manaakitanga | Respectus | Respect
Manawaroa | Robur | Resilience
Hiranga | Excellentia | Excellence

We value personal character as highly as academic excellence. We help our students achieve in whatever they do – and to be aware of what it takes to get there. We live by faith-based values where everyone is respected and welcomed. It’s there in our school motto and we live by it every day:

Respect, Resilience, Excellence.
