As Wellingtonians our pupils, teachers, academic and non-academic teams will embrace the five core values as our standard of interacting with one another and performing our duties. The five core values of being a Wellingtonian are:

Showing consideration for others and acting selflessly for their benefit.

Being reliable, dependable and accountable for one’s conduct. Fulfilling a duty. Acknowledging the need to serve the communities in which we operate.

A positive feeling of esteem for a person, group, entity or quality, resulting in acting with fairness. This can include self-respect which involves not compromising one’s values just to gain approval from others.

The ability to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty or intimidation. To take calculated risks in the pursuit of goodness.

Consistency and authenticity. Acting in consort with one’s values or beliefs.
