Conditions of Enrolment:
Wellington Seventh-day Adventist School operates not only for the members of the Adventist community, but also for students in the broader community who are committed to the values and the ethos of the school. Enrolments are accepted without regard to religion, ethnic background or nationality. All students are expected to live in harmony with the standards and participate in the life and program of the school, including devotional activities and Bible classes.
Due to the conditions of our integration agreement with the Ministry of Education, preference must be firstly given to students attending Adventist churches, then students who are part of other Christian denominations. Our integration agreement with the Ministry of Education allows 10% of our students to come from non-Christian backgrounds.
