Wellington College offers an environment ideal for growing well-rounded young people. As one of the leading secondary schools in the country, there is an opportunity for all students to develop to their personal best and find academic success towards their individual pathway.

Wellington College prides itself on its academic record. We challenge, inspire and prepare our students for the future, to become the very best versions of themselves and to actively serve our communities. We promote mentoring and tutoring at Wellington College which includes an academic tutoring system, Yr 8 Induction Programme, Peer Support and mentoring for selected students.

We provide immense opportunities for students to engage in arts activities at Wellington College. Since the beginning, our school has recognised that extracurricular activities are an important part of a young person’s personal development. The experiences our students have within our co-curricular programs are often the most memorable and support them to develop life skills that will help them to become well-rounded. Our extensive co-curricular program ensures there is something for everyone to participate in.

We believe that leadership is an act of service and as part of this, we encourage students to give back. Our Runathon efforts every year have raised more than a million dollars towards World Vision. We have students regularly volunteering at Wellington soup kitchens, collecting for charities, participating in fundraising events, and our Year 10 volunteer day provides meaningful support to organisations across the city. Our school participates in the SVA programme and students who volunteer are formally recognised.

At Wellington College we have students and staff from a wide range of diverse cultural backgrounds which adds to the richness of our school. We foster an inclusive school where all of our community can be proud of who they are and where they come from. We celebrate culture through our curriculum, through language weeks, food festivals, assembly speakers and performances.
