As students enter the school they will be presented with technologically-based learning resources that will stimulate their senses. On entering the concourse they see the Creation Garden featuring exotic plant life and flora, creating an ambiance rarely seen in schools. LCD screens and monitors adorn school corridors informing students of their next classes and other information which has been streamed form the TV/ Radio Station. Students can then expand their horizons by visiting the theatre, which seats 500 people, or visit the observatory for a breathtaking glimpse of the stars.
The entire concept of the classroom is changing.

It is this step forward taken by the GEMS group which will assert Wellington School as a school of the future.
