Excellent character development is as important to the education of a Wellington Day School student as reading, writing and arithmetic. Our mission is to help our students live excellently in all facets of their lives. The following Code of Conduct, which outlines standards to which each Wellington student is expected to adhere, was drafted with this goal in mind.
I will show respect to my teachers at all times in the school.
I will show respect and love to all students.
I will appreciate my parents and let this appreciation be evident.
I will be kind to my siblings.
I will always say what is true, even when it seems risky.
I will live my life in truth without lying, cheating or stealing.
I will gratefully receive instruction at school.
I will be helpful.

I will be quiet when a teacher is speaking or when I am requested to do so by a teacher.
I will not touch another child, except on his or her hand.
I will stay with any child I accidentally injure as long as it takes to see them feeling better.

I will not insist upon being allowed into ongoing games or conversations.
