Happy Birthday Welly High

The 13th of April 2011 is the 125th anniversary of the school.

125 years since a young (25) Artur Dewhurst Riley opened a new school offering subjects not available in the traditional schools... some things just never change.

Latin and Greek designed to send young men to University were replaced with a new curriculum offering classes in Art and training in more useful subjects allowed students to consider other careers.

Even more importantly classes were offered to young women and co-educational classes were introduced.
