Wellington College is pleased to share that our Headmaster Glen Denham has been awarded a Woolf Fisher Fellowship.

The Woolf Fisher Fellowship is one of the most respected and prestigious professional learning awards for education leaders in New Zealand and Australia. Fellowships are granted to a very small number of principals each year who are recognised for their leadership, commitment to education, and contribution at a system-wide level, nationally. 

Mr Denham has expressed his deep gratitude to the Woolf Fisher Trust for this opportunity, acknowledging the Fellowship as a privilege rather than a personal achievement. He has also recognised the role of the Wellington College community students, staff, whānau, and Board whose collective work and support makes this learning possible.

The Fellowship will enable advanced postgraduate study at leading international universities and engagement with global education leaders. Mr Denham looks forward to bringing insights from this experience back to Wellington College, with a strong focus on improving outcomes, opportunities, and wellbeing for current and future students.

Mr Denham will be away from 18 February – 15 April 2026, investigating best practice models in Dubai, England, and the USA. His study will focus on character education and the place and use of AI in secondary schools.

Wellington College congratulates Mr Denham and thanks the Woolf Fisher Trust for its continued investment in educational leadership.
