Dear Parents
It’s Chinese (lunar) New Year again. This time, it’s the turn of us Dragons. Today, the Junior School experienced an excellent Lion and Dragon Dance performance as part of our annual celebration. Many thanks, as always, to our Mandarin Department for teaching us about these wonderful, ancient traditions.
For our Senior students, Wellington College has been located in such places as Chiang Rai and Chantaburi this week. Curriculum Residentials are always worth a huge amount: not just because of the dynamic learning, or the extra activities, but also because of the human part – interacting in different ways, in different environments, and learning new things about our friends and ourselves.
Today and tomorrow, I am hosting some special guests in the Senior School. They will be meeting staff, and some Y11 students (who are back from Residential for a day of intensive IGCSE exam preparation), and preparing themselves for a particularly rigorous day on Saturday. I’ll have more to tell you about this very soon indeed.
Time is moving fast. One more week till the Half Term holiday (we finish at the end of school next Friday, 16th February, and return on Monday 26th February).
I wish you a peaceful and enjoyable weekend
With best wishes
Chris

Dear Parents
A quick update from the Admissions team.
Our Early Years for August 2024 start are now full. Thank you all for registering your
Pre-Nursery, Nursery and Reception siblings so promptly. If you haven’t yet returned a letter sent to you by Admissions then can we please ask you to do so. This helps secure your place and allows us to update our numbers efficiently.
Early Years for August 2025 is filling up very quickly. If you have a child who will start in Pre-Nursery, Nursery or Reception in the 2025-26 academic year then please can you let us know as soon as possible.
As you will be aware, we are developing our Senior School and will soon be opening two more floors of the Skylight building. If you would like to take a look then please let us know and we can schedule this for you when it is open and available.
As always, I thank all our families for their kind referrals. When you are happy and you bring in your friends – it makes our community stronger. Please let me know if you have any questions about this process or if you have any friends you’d like to refer.
Have a wonderful weekend!

I would like to report to all of you some numbers from the Nomination process of the 5 positions on the FoW Committee as follows -
1. For the position of Chair, 5 people were nominated, 3 declined the nominations while 2 accepted the nominations. Therefore, there are now 2 candidates for Chair.
2. For the position of Vice Chair, 7 persons were nominated, 3 declined while 4 accepted. 2 people are now candidates for Junior Vice Chair while the other 2 are candidates for Senior Vice Chair.
3. For Secretary, 4 people were nominated, 3 declined and only one accepted the nomination. Therefore, there will not be an election for this position.
4. For Treasurer, 2 people got nominated, 1 declined and 1 accepted so there will not be an election for this position.
If anyone has applied or think they have been nominated but haven’t been approached please kindly shout out in the line group that your name is missing.
To ensure transparency and fairness, we have asked the school to conduct the election including voting methods, monitoring, and counting the votes which I would like to express our sincere appreciations to the school for providing a hand in this matter.
The election will be done through online voting and one person one vote meaning one family will get 2 votes 1 for mum and 1 for dad.
The details on the elections and candidates are posted below.
On behalf of FoW we would like to thank all of you for making a nomination and for giving us to serve the community in the recent past years.

We learned so much in Year 4's assembly on Friday as they shared their learning on Ancient Greece. The children introduced the many gods and goddesses and their great strengths. They told us about Apollo, Artemis, Poseidon, Hades and many more. We then heard about the many qualities of the ancient beats - including Medusa, Typhon - the most fearsome monster with a dragon's head and a tail of fire - and Pegasus, the winged horse.

Last Saturday morning over 50 Wellington Under 9 boys and girls headed to Bangkok Patana School to play in a friendly football festival, some of them playing for Wellington for the very first time. The children from the three development teams worked incredibly hard, played with style and learned more about the game and their teammates.
