From pupil to mentor: A journey through music and teaching
Jackson Faulker, Wellington Shanghai Class of 2018, joined us last month for Wellington Shanghai’s 10th-anniversary celebrations both as a founding pupil and as a special guest performer in the school’s orchestra. Amid the festivities, we caught up with him to hear about life after Wellington.
In today’s video, watch as Jackson reminisces about how his teachers encouraged him to venture out of his comfort zone and how this ultimately put him on his current career trajectory as a jazz trumpeter and music educator.
We call our graduates ‘Old Wellingtonians’ or OWs because, in our eyes, they never really leave us. Once a Wellingtonian, always a Wellingtonian. And it is in this spirit that we have launched We.Connect, a new alumni platform that brings the Wellington College China Community a wide range of benefits — from networking opportunities to mentorship programmes and so much more.
We.Connect
Alumni Meet-Ups in China and the US
We.Connect empowers our pupils with the resources they need to build a successful and fulfilling future. It is a vibrant community of like-minded individuals who support and mentor each other. Most importantly, it provides fertile soil where lifelong connections can flourish.
More stories about our Old Wellingtonians are coming soon! Stay tuned to our WeChat video channel to hear from our alumni!
