About
Wellington College's enrolment zone mainly covers the central and western parts of Wellington.
Each year the school's rugby team plays in a competition with Nelson College, Christ's College, and Wanganui Collegiate School known as the "Quadrangular Tournament". Wellington are the reigning champions of this tournament and have been since 2003. Their current winning streak of ten titles in a row is the longest in the tournament's history.
The school also competes in a local athletics competition known as "McEvedy Shield" along with St. Patrick's College (Town), St. Patrick's College, Silverstream and Rongotai College. Historically, Wellington College have won the shield 48 times since 1922. The 2009 event was won by Wellington College at Newtown Park, but in 2010 St Patrick's College (Town) won the shield. In 2011, Wellington College won the shield, again.
It is next to Wellington East Girls' College, also in Mount Victoria, and shares with that college the Gifford Observatory.
Each year in Dunedin, a de facto reunion is held by old boys of the College studying at Otago University.
Although Wellington College is situated next to Wellington East Girls' College, its sister college is Wellington Girls' College located in Thorndon.
