Sports Week at Britannica
What a seriously jam-packed and fun week it was at Britannica, as students took part in the school’s annual Sports Week. The sun was blazing, the events were set and the students arrived wearing their house colors proudly as they prepared themselves for what would be an exciting week of sport. Students had the opportunity to put together everything they had learned throughout the year and the whole of the PE department would like to congratulate all students for the effort they put in.
Wellington goes on Safari for Fifth Summer Festival
Each year, the Summer Festival brings the entire Wellington community together in celebration of its biggest, most hotly anticipated whole-day event. Summer Festival 2019 followed the theme of ‘African Safari’ because, like the continent, we are a community made stronger by the cultural richness and diversity of our members. Wellington’s fifth Summer Festival was a landmark event. Five years on from its opening ceremony, number of admitted pupils at the College is now five times larger – from around 250 in 2014 to more than 1,250 today. With higher attendance, more activities, more market stalls and vendors, and more on-stage performances from both pupils and professionals than any previous year, Summer Festival 2019 was Wellington’s biggest to date.
