Wesley boarding offers a purpose-built home for students in Years 7 to 12. Located within our vibrant Glen Waverley Campus, these contemporary residences create a safe, nurturing, and dynamic environment where students excel across academics, sport, music, leadership, service, and performance.
Student wellbeing
Wesley College boarding places student wellbeing at the heart of its program. With live-in mentors, academic supervisors, health professionals and counsellors, boarders receive personalised care and guidance so they feel safe, connected and confident.
A strong sense of community is fostered through shared celebrations, nutritious meals, and wellbeing practices, ensuring every boarder belongs and develops independence and resilience.
Regular communication with and between the students, their teachers and boarding staff means that academic, social and emotional wellbeing is supported inside and outside the classroom.
Academic pathways and support
All students complete the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program in Years 7 to 10, before choosing between two educational pathways for their final years:
- International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IB DP)
- Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE)
Students are supported through structured evening and weekend programs that help boarders consolidate their daily learning. Small group tutorials and individual learning assistance provided by expert mentors and experienced College teaching staff support boarders in completing homework and assignments.
Weekend activities
After the end of a busy school week, students unwind with games and activities, which commence on Friday nights and continue throughout the weekend. This includes compulsory Saturday morning sport alongside day students and bespoke recreational activities for boarders such as cultural excursions around Melbourne, festivals and events, games nights, quizzes, school socials, cinema screenings and karaoke.
Boarders can build practical, real-world skills through barista and first aid courses, learn-to-drive programs and CV writing workshops. View residential curriculum calendar
