★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As a previous student I have to start by saying that while I attended (2008) the culture here at Wellington Boys' College was disgusting, students and (some) staff.
They perpetuated "bro" culture and you only have to do a simple Google search to see the headlines (although they will obviously condemn such behaviour and preach about their school ethos and values).
I am a gay male and I attended Wellington College for Year 9 in 2008. I was absolutely tormented during my time there for simply being me - mostly for being gay but I also experienced racial abuse for being half Asian.
It's well known that teenagers struggling with these issues can feel isolated and find it difficult to reach out for help. The College therefore has a duty of care to look out for signs that a student is being bullied (of which there were plenty) and intervene and/or offer counselling as deemed necessary. That never happened. Even when I was getting my papers signed off on to transfer schools not a single member of staff even asked why I was changing school, they would smirk to themselves and say "oh you're going to that "perfectly good school" up the road." (Staff and students used to always joke about another local co-educational college being inadequate and the place for the dropkicks or drug addicts to go (I went there and it was amazing, I was welcomed with open arms and received an excellent education)). It almost seemed as if they were happy I was leaving, or like they didn't want a gay student there.
I was initially so excited to start at Wellington College and hoped that I would find a supportive, diverse and inclusive school community only to find the complete opposite.
I guess I'm writing this review so that no one else has to go through what I did and hopefully there can be change. Also just remember that no matter how good a reputation a school has or what results they produce, your child's performance is directly linked to their desire to learn which is in turn directly impacted by their mental health.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was the venue for The Young Singers in Harmony competition. From my perspective as an audience member, this was not a good venue. Unless you were lucky enough to get a seat in the centre of the room you couldn't see the stage properly. The view from the seats to the side or upstairs were all obstructed by either dirty glass panels, walls or huge pillars.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ From ball rush games crammed with hundreds of people at a time to getting smashed by dozens of players in sports I feel like you get the full experience at this college. I have witnessed strange people planning to retake Europe and I have seen people always go the bathroom for an odd reason I don't know. The classrooms always smell funny and the school buses often turn around and go back to school. Once I even saw it myself: I once saw a toilet stall top to bottom stuffed with hot chips, deceased birds and more! I feel like some of the boys have great talent with artwork and are very creative. Each one of us I see has great futures with our passions. I am glad to see some of us share or talents through athletics too. By always practicing throwing in class. Usually it hits the other students but it's probably just an accident. I marveled at a boy's imagination and artwork. He proceeded to pull out a spray can and create some beautiful imagery on the science block walls. But he could have made the words more readable. Anyway this is good school.
