Outstanding Since 2009

KHDA Reports

“We are pleased that the KHDA report acknowledges the impact of the work of the leadership team in accurate self-evaluation, linked to our more focused improvement planning process. This has led to a rise in the rating for school self-evaluation and improvement planning from last year. This is hugely significant and exemplified in how key recommendations refer to areas which the school has already identified and is working to improve on tangible positive outcomes.”

Maryssa O’Connor, Principal and CEO, GEMS Wellington International School
