ENRICHMENT
CO-CURRICULAR
ACTIVITIES (CCA)
Wellington's Co-Curricular Activities (CCA)
programme provides an exciting opportunity
for Wellington pupils to explore new activities,
cultivate new interests and develop a variety
of skills. Within each school of the College, the
activities are run for pupils across the range of
year groups allowing our pupils to connect and
make friends with children of different ages.
From year 3 onwards, CCAs form an integral
and compulsory part of the school day. The
annual tuition fees include participation in the
CCA programme (save for a small number of
activities for which there is a minimal charge).
CCA choices change three times per year with
new activities being allocated at the start of
each term. The CCA options are selected online
and pupils are asked to indicate two choices for
each day. We will try our best to accommodate
a pupil’s first choice option; however some
activities are restricted to a maximum number
of pupils therefore some pupils will be allocated
their second choice activity. Allocations will
not be made on a first-come-first-served basis,
although late submissions will be given lowest
priority. Parents will be notified when the
activities for the next term are available for
selection.
During the Academic block of the CCA
programme, pupils will be involved in one of
four aspects:
− Prep session: these will be held in the house/
form/class rooms and will be run by tutors
which will encourage greater pastoral contact
time. This will also create a better working
environment so that pupils can be productive
in getting their prep done. It is expected that
pupils work in silence.
− Enrichment: The sessions are meant
as an exciting opportunity to take their
level of understanding beyond that of the
specification and challenge them. Pupils will be
invited to attend by the heads of department.
− Focus sessions: In order to allow our
sports teams and performing arts casts
greater opportunities to train/rehearse
together, there will be different sports/arts
focuses each day. Pupils involved in focus
sessions will carry out their activity during
CCA1 and CCA2.
During the physical and creative block of
the CCA programme, pupils will select from
a wide range of activities. Please note that
CCAs do not run in the first week of a new
term. Any questions regarding the CCA
programme should be directed to:
Prep and Senior Schools
[email protected]
− Support: Those deemed in need of academic
support will be invited to attend. The sessions
will also happen during lunch period.
