WELLINGTON COLLEGE CHINA
THE HOUSE
SYSTEM
All pupils are members of a House. Each House is named after
one of the 18 Houses at Wellington UK. For Tianjin, the Anglesey,
the Blucher, the Orange, the Stanley and the Wellesley were
chosen, while the Shanghai Houses are the Combermere, the
Hopetoun, the Stanley, the Wellesley, the Lynedoch and the Hill.
In both Senior Schools, there are dedicated House rooms, and
appointed Housemasters and Tutors who are in charge of the
pastoral care of the pupils.

At Wellington College International Shanghai, there are also
House rooms in Prep. There is a fierce sense of loyalty to
the House, principally through the House competition, with
points available for academic achievement, sporting success,
debating, singing, and a range of other contributions. The
Tianjin and Shanghai Housemasters are in frequent contact with
their counterparts in the UK, and are looking to strengthen
the links between their Houses further through joint charity
collaboration and other projects.
