From Wellington UK to WCIH– a Masters Visit

Mr. Dahl: My first impression of WCIH is that it is a truly Wellington school, with a strong emphasis on values and a commitment to holistic education. The school offers excellent opportunities for pupils to develop themselves academically, as well as in other areas such as global citizenship and character.

Mr. Dahl: The partnership between Wellington College UK and WCIH benefits both staff andpupils in many ways. Pupils can participate in online discussions with heads of the UK college and visit for summer school, while staff members can share knowledge and ideas with their counterparts in China. For example, the head librarian and heads of careers and higher education have visited WCIH tocollaborate on library development and university preparation for pupils. The relationship between the schools is strong and valuable. 

Mr. Dahl: Wellington College UK has several exciting new initiatives and collaborations with WCIH. They are renewing old initiatives such as summer school and introducing new ventures such as The Bridge, a research centre connecting teachers from around the world. The Wellington College Education Conference is the most exciting development, as all masters and partners from various Wellington schools will come together to plan new ideas that benefit all staff and pupils. So, there are more ideas and events to come out of the conference that are worth keeping an eye on.

Mr. Dahl: My vision for Wellington College is that it remains an interesting and inspiring place for young people worldwide to receive an education. Our goal is for it to become one of the leading co-ed boarding and day schools in the UK and world, ensuring our graduates achieve the best exam results and attend top universities. But more importantly, we aim to help them become the best version of themselves and develop leadership skills to serve their communities. We want them to go out and shape a better world through their career paths and other activities, whether they attend Wellington College in the UK or any other Wellington school worldwide.

Mr. Dahl: I would like to express my gratitude to the pupils, parents, and staff of WCIH for being part of our pioneering and innovative network of schools. We are grateful to have you as part of our family and encourage you to embrace our purpose statement of pioneering education to serve and shape a better world. Your support towards this positive mission is greatly appreciated as we embark on an exciting journey of development in the Wellington College education family.

Mr. Dahl: Be you, be kind.
