A story telling of the term spent at Winterton School in Australia by Althea St. George, an attractive girl from England whose father is the Earl of Lannon.

It becomes apparent that Althea's father and Lesley's father were old school friends, and the two girls begin a friendship as their fathers rekindle theirs.

According to Bonza Schooldays, 'With Wendy at Winterton School follows Wendy's progression from a rebellious new girl to a valued member of the school [...] Wendy, the daughter of a butcher, is initially concerned the school will be full of snobs, showing her dislike for Felicity, the Head Prefect. When the Head compares Wendy's disloyalty to that of war traitors, Wendy begins to change her attitude and reconciles with Felicity, realising her error in judgement.'
