Opening of the Performing Arts Acadamy February 2024

Welcome to the Wellington College Extra-curricular Arts site.

The College is known for its success in the Performing Arts and all students are encouraged to participate in the extensive extra-curricular Arts programme. We now have a wonderful new Performing Arts space in the Alan Gibbs Centre which we are looking forward to using.  For many activities, for example Inhouse Debating, no previous experience is required and this is a chance to acquire new skills and interests. For other activities, such as Music groups, this is an opportunity for students to develop their talents.

Success in the Arts and the wide involvement of the student body, contribute significantly to the ethos of the school.

We welcome and look forward to your participation.

Arts, Cultural and Extra-Curricular Director
