2026-06-21T22:07:31+00:00

One of the defining strengths of Wellington’s Fireside Talk programme is its ability to place students at the heart of important conversations.

New Third Form Academic Scholars Announced

2026-06-22T00:01:26+00:00

It is about curiosity, independence, intellectual confidence and the capacity to think deeply with others. It is the pupil who asks why? The pupil who keeps thinking after the lesson has ended. The pupil who reads, debates, explores and challenges ideas, not because they are told to, but because they want to know more. [...]

Alongside this, they were encouraged to think creatively through the “unessay”, a non-traditional form that transforms research into compelling outputs [...]
