The role of the Wellington Community is to build a supportive life-long community. We have developed a global professional and social network, deliver a diverse programme of events and offer invaluable careers support, guidance and mentoring opportunities. A major part of our work is to also raise funds for our life-changing Prince Albert Foundation Scholarship programme (PAF) – to ensure we continue to be able to offer places to more young people with talent and promise the amazing opportunities that a Wellington education provides.
We have made a series of videos for you to watch so that you can find out all about the work and aims of the Community Office; we trust you enjoy watching them!
Talent is spread evenly throughout society, but opportunity is not.
We want to do what we can to address this disparity and support access and opportunity for more young people in our community and beyond. Our College Community is enriched by having a bright, ambitious, talented and inclusive student body.
Giving Week is our annual celebration of the widening access programme and the transformative impact of the Prince Albert Foundation programme, not only on the young people themselves but the whole College Community. It’s not just about fundraising — it’s about community, connection, and showing what we can achieve when we all come together. Last year, over 70% of parents got involved and we were able to offer 17 more young people a life-changing Prince Albert Scholarship
We want every member of the Wellington Community to feel involved and part of this incredible community, with plenty of in person and online events there really is something for everyone. A great way for you to stay connected with us and fellow members of the Wellington Community is to sign up to our online global professional networking platform, Wellington Connect Global.
