Congratulations to the new cohort of Senior School Scholars, who commence their Scholarship Programme with Wellington this January.
An extensive and rigorous selection process granted fifteen talented students with membership of this life-changing programme. Awards have been made for academic and musical excellence, as well as for world-class potential in swimming and golf.
With the opening of the incredible new Senior School building in November, Wellington College International School Bangkok is eminently equipped to support the development of true scholarship. The individually-tailored programmes of study for Scholars will furnish these remarkable young people with every opportunity to succeed at the very highest level of their areas of expertise.
Our Scholars are in prestigious company. Wellington College has been awarding scholarships for one hundred and sixty years, and Wellington’s Scholars have been inspiring peers and leading investigation, debate and accomplishment across the College throughout that time.
Founded by Queen Victoria in the 19th Century, Wellington College in Berkshire is one of the UK’s most highly-regarded and successful co-educational boarding schools; over the last decade, the College has opened branches, in Shanghai, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Bangkok and, in the near future, Pune, India.
Christopher Nicholls, Master of the College, says ‘for us, Scholarships are all about providing the best possible support for exceptionally talented young people to excel and reach extraordinary heights. In turn, every Scholar enriches the culture of the school community. It’s a very exciting programme.’
Dr Jim Panton, Head of Senior School, commented ‘It has been a privilege to spend time talking to this remarkable group of individuals. I have been enlightened by discussions about whether we can make objective judgements about art, what consequence modern medicine might have for human evolution, and the relative differences between learning modern foreign languages and computer programming languages – to name just three discussions in the first round of interviews.
And I have met young sports men and women with awesome talent and an inspiring commitment to their discipline. I have no doubt that these Scholars will make a huge contribution to the world, and I am delighted to welcome them to the Wellington Scholarship Programme.’
Wellington College Bangkok looks forward to welcoming more students to the Scholarship Programme in the future.
