YEAR 8 PARENT BRIEFING - WELLINGTON COLLEGE SUMMER SCHOOL, JULY 2020

Monday 9th September: Common Room

We are delighted to welcome Mr Iain Henderson, a senior Deputy Head at our sister school, Wellington College in England, to give a briefing to all parents of Year 8 pupils. He will be providing details of an exciting new joint project between Wellington College and Wellington Colleges in China. Wellington has developed a bespoke summer school, to launch in July 2020, and which will allow our Year 8 pupils to spend time in the UK, not only engaged in language learning but also touring some of the most famous sites of British history and seeing towns like Oxford first-hand. The preliminary summer school, held for the for the first time this year for pupils from Hangzhou, proved a great success and we are delighted to be able to offer the chance to our pupils for next summer. The venue is Common Room and the briefing begins at 0900hrs.

FROM THE DEPUTY HEAD OF JUNIOR SCHOOL

Roald Dahl Day

12th September, Thursday

 September 13th marks the birth date of Roald Dahl, the famous British novelist and poet, and one of the greatest story-tellers of children's literature.

In memory of the popular writer, our pupils in the Junior School will dress up as their favourite of Dahl’s character and share their love for Roald Dahl’s books.

Our children will enjoy Buddy Reading and discover more of the secrets of Dahl’s writing: his inventive, playful use of language; a sense of humor and incredible imagination: the reason he was able to win the hearts of so many readers. This year’s event will take place on 12th September. We also have special mystery guests reading Dahl books to our pupils, leading up to the day, as well as hidden golden tickets around the Junior School that result in a surprise event.

Parents are welcome to watch the Dahl Costume Parade on the field, at 1000hrs, on 12th September.

FROM THE HEAD OF SENIOR SCHOOL

Parents' Evening: Year 7 Open House

Atrium

1700hrs – 1830hrs, Thursday

12th September

Parents’ evening for the parents of pupils in Year 7 will be held on Thursday, 12th September from 1700hrs to 1830hrs. Pastoral care at Wellington plays a crucial role in developing every child to her or his full potential, but it is often a part of school that is unfamiliar to many parents. If you would like to meet your child’s tutor and Housemaster, please use this opportunity to do so. The meeting point is in the Atrium at 1700hrs where, after a welcome from our senior teachers, you will have an opportunity to ask questions about the House system, have a tour around your child’s House, and talk to her/his tutor and Housemaster or Housemistress.
