Wellington Reads: Sharing Stories, Discovering More

Wellington College Bangkok is launching Wellington Reads, a new school-wide programme designed to build on the excellent reading and enrichment programmes already taking place across the College.

At the heart of Wellington Reads is a simple idea: a great recommendation can be a powerful way to connect people. When we know someone well, we can often think of a book, film, podcast, article or story that they might enjoy, learn from or be challenged by. Sharing that recommendation creates an opportunity for discovery – and for conversation.

Wellington Reads will bring together a range of reading and enrichment activities across the school, giving students, staff and families opportunities to recommend and discover stories and ideas in many different forms. This might be through a personal recommendation to a friend, a book review in The Scoop, a short video recommendation, a Library display or a recommendation shared through a Book Club.

The programme supports Wellington’s three pillars of Belonging, Love of Learning and Ambitious. Recommendations encourage us to think about others and share something meaningful with them; they help us discover new ideas and perspectives; and they can encourage us to explore beyond what we already know.

The Library team will be developing Wellington Reads throughout the year, with opportunities for everyone in the Wellington community to take part.
