core of our main aims as an organisation.

Studying, working and living at Wellington
should be an experience that enhances one’s
life and positive school is a process designed to
ensure this.
Between September and March, the whole
College community engaged in discussion of
our values. What is our shared belief about
the way the College and the world should be ?
What drives our behaviour ? What do we
want to stand up for above all else ? At the end
of the Lent Term 2011, the whole community
voted to adopt five values that we believe sit
at the heart of the College: Courage, Respect,
Kindness, Integrity, Responsibility.
Over
the next few years, the College community
will review everything it does to make sure
that all of our operations support these five
values. These values are not new, nor do they
supplant any person’s individual values. They
have always been promoted and upheld in the
history of the College through the actions
of people who have passed through; we
now have a process which aims to explicitly
guarantee that this will continue.
Values-
based change is not just about picking some
nice words; it is about making sure that
principles of action turn into action, that
the values stick and are lived by everyone.
In upholding these five values across our
community, we stand a much better chance
of ensuring that all have the opportunity to
flourish and achieve well-being. Ian Morris
Well-being is a dynamic state,
in which the individual is able to
develop their potential,
work productively and creatively,
build strong and positive relationships
with others, and contribute to
their community.
