Wellington High School has a purpose-built well resourced Library, with approximately 12,000 books, a suite of digital databases and staff to support students with their curriculum studies.
The Library is a popular haven for students and is open from 8.15am – 4.30pm weekdays and during break and lunch.
On Thursdays the Āwhina Homework Club runs in the library after school until 4.30pm with teachers available to support students needing extra help.
We welcome students’ help in the library and have an active team of Student Librarians who provide service to the school and to their peers.
Books are borrowed for 3 weeks, magazines are borrowed for 1 week. The borrowing period can be easily renewed by accessing the catalogue online or emailing the library.
Students are not charged for late return of books but will be invoiced for the replacement cost in the event of a lost item.
We recognise the importance of reading for pleasure in the development of active thinking brains and supply a wide variety of material to match the diversity of our student population.
The Library Catalogue can be accessed online through the WHS HUB or directly at Wellington High School Library Catalogue Students sign in using their WHS username and password.
Suggestions for book purchases and other communications can be emailed to library@whs.school.nz
