Prize Day
Every year, Wellington holds its annual Prize Distribution Day. Prize Day rewards pupils for their work, progress and contribution to the college, plus outstanding personal achievements. The event takes place in the school sports hall and tea and refreshments are served in the Assembly Hall following the distribution. Pupils who are not being awarded a prize may go home before the event at 11:50am; however, the attendance of Year 8 pupils is mandatory. Prize Day starts at 1:00pm and ends at around 3:20pm (the normal school end time). It is held on the last Friday of September.

Famous quotes containing the words prize and/or day:
“He saw, he wish’d, and to the prize aspir’d.
Resolv’d to win, he meditates the way,
By force to ravish, or by fraud betray;
For when success a lover’s toil attends,
Few ask, if fraud or force attain’d his ends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“It’s an ordinary day for Brian. Like, he died every day, you know.”
—Pete Townshend (b. 1945)
