In celebration of its fifth anniversary, Wellington College International Tianjin - the first overseas partner school of the prestigious Wellington College in the UK, held its inaugural WellingTEN Talk. Having launched in the international school's sister College in Shanghai, this series of talks was successfully held in front of a captive audience of pupils, parents and educators.


Panelists for the WellingTEN included Mr. Julian Thomas, Master of Wellington College in the UK, Madame Kang Xiuyan, Director of Tianjin Nankai Xiangyu School Group and 6th Principal of Tianjin Nankai Middle School, Dr. Kang Sungbong, Headmaster of the Tianjin Korean International School and Mr. Michael Higgins, Master of Wellington College International Tianjin. Sharing a wealth of experience in international education, the panel discussed the topic 'Educating for the Future', offering insight and opinion on which skills are the most beneficial for success in a complex global environment.


Speaking on the achievements of pupils at the College in Tianjin, Mr. Michael Higgins, The Master, said the following: "Since our first cohort of senior school graduates, our pupils have continued to gain offers from some of the world's top universities. With offers in 2016 from Cornell, UC Berkeley and University College London, we are proud to say that the College currently has a 100% success rate for pupils gaining acceptance to universities, we have quickly gained the reputation amongst higher education institutions for being a breeding ground of academic talent."


Further expanding on equipping pupils with the skills necessary for facing 21st century challenges, Thomas shared the following: "Our Mission Statement and Values are based on the fundamental belief that all pupils can achieve, succeed and thrive, and it is therefore the goal of everyone within the College to ensure we provide pupils with every opportunity in allowing this to happen. We recognise that - whilst a pupil's academic performance must always remain central, it is responsibility, respect of others and the building of self-esteem that is of key importance to success during adulthood. Paying constant attention to the all-round development of an individual in accordance with our Eight Aptitudes - which includes Moral and Spiritual, Cultural and Physical, Logical and Linguistic, Social and Personal, we attach great importance to the development of personality both inside and outside of the classroom. Acquiring knowledge from all areas is crucial to the all-round development of our pupils."
