A core subject
English is the official language of the Wellington curriculum, but Chinese is taught as a core subject throughout the College. It is mandatory for all pupils until year 9, but most continue with it until they graduate. It is an essential part of our mission to make well-rounded, internationally-minded pupils. We offer courses in Chinese language and culture for pupils at every level from year 1 to year 13.
Education through immersion
To ensure our pupils get the most out of their coursework, we thoroughly assess their abilities and place them in classes accordingly. Additionally, our daily co-curricular activities programme helps to deepen our pupils' understanding and appreciation of Chinese through a wide range of cultural and linguistic activities. We also organise an annual calendar of events around traditional Chinese celebrations, such as Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.
