The five core values of being a Wellingtonian are Courage, Respect, Integrity, Kindness, and Responsibility. Our values and ethos are alive and at the heart of everything we do, in all of our schools. They are present in the way we think and behave, in what we expect of ourselves, and also in each other. Recruitment of staff; selection of students; policies and practices; day-to-day decision-making are all founded on these five values. These values are a critical part of what brings us together as a unified global organisation.
