Overview
Sports play an integral role at Wellington. We provide an inclusive and nurturing environment that inspires pupils to be resilient and independent learners and to cultivate a lifelong passion for physical activity. Throughout the academic year, our pupils have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of sporting activities, both at home and abroad, competing against leading international and bilingual schools.
Our five core sports — football, basketball, volleyball, swimming and tennis — receive extra provision and resources, with teams competing at the local, regional and international levels. We also offer three developing core sports — netball, rugby (contact, touch, and tag), and badminton. Additionally, our pupils can participate in supplementary sports, such as table tennis, ultimate frisbee, skiing, figure skating and equestrian.
The Wellington Shanghai campus offers world-class facilities, including three 11-a-side football pitches, three basketball courts, three volleyball courts, up to seven netball and tennis courts, a 25-meter and a 15-meter pool, and a 400-meter athletics track. We provide opportunities for additional small-group training through our Wellington Extra programme. We also recognise talent through our Sports Fellowship and Scholarship programmes.
