“We try with everything we do, to make every child’s life happier. We try and bring a smile to their faces and to fill them with pride that they attend our wonderful school. We are role models for our children and for society” – Friends of Wellington
Wellington College Bangkok is a strong and vibrant community which does not just include our students and our staff but our parents, too. The relationships between parents, students and staff must be strong and must work all ways. Whether you have been part of School since Day One or have just joined – your voice counts, and you are valuable to us.
We are exceptionally lucky to have such welcoming parents here. There is only inclusion – when your child joins us, you join us.
We encourage our parents to become Friends of Wellington. This group has made a huge difference to Wellington’s growth since 2018. The founding parents met with our Master, Chris Nicholls, as the School opened to discuss the importance of a positive and proactive parent body. The Friends of Wellington formed a committee and within months had organized their first event – a wonderful inaugural Christmas Fayre. This set the standards for a full year of events and support.
“At first Wellington was so small that everyone knew each other, and everyone knew each other’s children. This makes a community very special and it’s something that is still a key aim no matter how big we grow “explain Khun Notachard and Khun Gift (Chair and Vice Chair of FOW). “We encourage everyone to be part of what we do. We are stronger together. “
Already this year we have run several amazing events
Fun Run – November 2023
Parents, children and staff got together in November to tackle an obstacle course around the School grounds. We had a huge sign up and the atmosphere on the day was electric! Music rang out as the races started for our youngest children all the way up to parents. We were all VERY competitive! Everyone dressed in specially designed T-shirts. A workout, chats with friends, food and drink from a variety of providers and photo opportunities. It was an exceptional Sunday!
Christmas Fayre – December 2023
We are very proud of having the very best Christmas event in Bangkok (and we all agree on that!) Our Friends of Wellington did us proud as the campus lit up with beautiful illuminated Christmas decorations. There was something for every member of the family – stalls, games, music, attractions and a huge raffle. We opened with a fantastic parade featuring parents, staff and Santa Claus himself. Take a look at our video below to see exactly why the event was so much fun.
Wellington Community Golf – Second Annual Golf Day
A great day was had by all as our golfing community took to the greens of Navatanee on Friday 3 May for the second annual Wellington Family Golf Day. Huge thanks and congratulations to everyone who took part and supported with prizes and sponsorship.
The day was planned by the Wellington Golf Committee who did an amazing job from start to finish. Golfers enjoyed a welcome lunch and group photos before eighteen holes of fabulous golf with friends. The evening brought dinner, speeches, prizes, a raffle and an auction. The annual Golf Day is one of many amazing community events at Wellington. Get in touch to find out more!
