- Wellington Secondary College provides a safe and inclusive environment to meet the needs of all students. We are committed to the provisions of Ministerial Order 1359 (Child Safety).
- The College prides itself on its commitment to literacy and numeracy across the whole school. Retention of students at WSC is very strong. Academic success is expected, and high standards of behaviour are required. Students usually remain enrolled for the duration of their secondary education, except where the family relocates.
- Consequently, Wellington Secondary College enjoys a very positive reputation in the local community. We respect well established school traditions, with all students and their families being inducted into the culture of the school's motto, the **Wellington Way** - Caring Striving Learning.
- Originally opening in 1973, the well-maintained and recently redeveloped campus is set amongst landscaped gardens and extensive courtyards.
- In 2019, we opened the E.H Blaikie Vanellus Centre, a beautiful two-story Administration, Technology and Library Hub, along with eight 21st century collaboration and learning spaces.
- In 2022 the final re-development stage of the campus was completed with a new Senior School Precinct, a Technology area and a Wellbeing Centre.
- The campus also features a Performing Arts complex with 288 seat Theatre, well equipped and modern specialist rooms for Visual Arts, Technology and Science, two multi-purpose Gymnasiums, a Wellbeing Centre, an International Centre and separate Junior, Middle and Senior School Centres.
- In 2022 the College successfully completed a Department of Education and Training Review. This has guided the preparation and writing of our four-year Strategic Plan (2023 - 2026).
