The Wellington College Scholarship Trial Exams are a crucial event in your preparation for your NZ Scholarship exams at the end of the year.

There are seven sessions for you to sit your exams.
The first session is after school on the day before the School Level 3 Exams on Wednesday 8th September. The second and third sessions are on the Saturday after the School Level 3 Exams on 18th September. The final four sessions are from 2:30 till 5:30 on the Monday to Thursday of the final week of the term (20th-23rd September).

Students sitting Statistics, German, Classical Studies, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, French and/or the Lincoln University Economics Examination must sit their exam in the specified session. For all other subjects, you can choose the session in which you wish to sit the exam. Students studying Te Reo Maori are to organise a time to sit their exam with Matua Bradley. There is no exam for Media Studies or Drama at this stage.

The annual Sport and Cultural Awards Dinner is a highlight of the school year. Involvement and success in extra-curricular activities in sport and the arts is an intrinsic part of our school culture and we are fortunate that the Wellington College Foundation makes it possible for us to celebrate this at the Awards Dinner.

It is an honour to be nominated for an award and it is an honour to be invited to the dinner. We look forward to acknowledging and celebrating our sporting and artistic success with the school community.
