WELLINGTON ACADEMY P R O G R A M M E The Wellington Academy programme is a fantastic opportunity for our own pupils and children from the wider Shanghai community to be taught by coaches and teachers with incredible experience and expertise. The staff, consisting mostly of Wellington teachers, coupled with the standard of the College facilities makes such an ambitious programme possible. The Academy Programme is separate from the co-curricular activities programme and incurs additional costs. An example of a typical term’s offering from the Academy: – Badminton – Basketball – Football – Netball – Swimming – Tennis – Gymnastics – Skateboarding – English – Ballet – Chinese – Creative writing – Debating – Mad science – Arts & crafts – Jazz / hiphop The Academy page on the College website contains more details on the activities offered and a breakdown of fees. http://www.wellingtoncollege.cn/academy The College is unable to provide transportation at the end of the Academy Programme. The programme will follow the school calendar and therefore will not run during school holidays. Included under the umbrella of the Wellington Academy programme is the exciting theatre arts programme ‘CentreStage’, which is dedicated to giving young performers advanced training in the three disciplines of theatre arts: acting, dancing, and singing. 40 41
