Wellington College in the UK has a highly enviable reputation in sport, with an array of international performers in several different sports, setting a very high standard for all of us at Wellington College International Tianjin to emulate. But the ambition is there, and we will do everything we can at the College to reach a similar level, if not to raise the bar even further, beginning with the provision of high-quality facilities and the very best coaches. Competition at Wellington, whether in inter-school matches or inter-house games will always be fierce, if in the nicest and most sportsman-like fashion.

At the same time we all believe that sport is a pastime in which everybody should be involved, whether for health reasons or personal enjoyment and fulfillment. The sports facilities are first-class at the school and we are confident that Wellington will become a major sporting centre for Tianjin.
