Overview
We want to shape tomorrow’s leaders by empowering our children today. Through our pupil government, children from nearly every year group can learn how to lead and contribute to our College community. Our Pupil Leadership Team gives our most senior pupils the chance to play an active role in College operations. They represent their peers, working closely with our faculty and staff. They are also our College ambassadors when we interface with the wider community. The College is led by our Heads and Deputy Heads of College with the support of our Early Years, Primary, Secondary School Liaisons as well as through our Pupil Representatives. These roles provide a crucial avenue for pupil voice and advocacy to transferred right through the College to the pupil leadership to effectuate change. In addition to this, through our many College Committees, our pupils can channel their passions and make a positive impact in a variety of areas as well, like charity work, sustainability and wellbeing. Along the way, they cultivate skills that will serve them well in life long after Wellington.
Our pupil leaders act as a bridge, connecting the entire Wellington community — pupils, staff and parents. They learn to build trust, communicate effectively, and collaborate with a diverse range of people and personalities. This allows them to develop crucial skills like teamwork, cross-cultural sensitivity and conflict management.
As they progress, our pupil leaders learn to take on more responsibility. They take meaningful actions, like improving our school’s recycling programme or collecting donations for under-resourced schools in rural China. Along the way, they develop invaluable skills, like organisation, planning and project management. They also learn the value of being a global citizen and what it means to be part of something greater than oneself.
