ACCOMMODATION

Wesley College’s boarding and DHA approved relative accommodation options help international students settle into Melbourne and Wesley life.

A safe, comfortable place to stay during your studies is essential for a positive school experience. Choosing the best option to meet the needs of your family is important and our admissions team can help you navigate the following options.

Boarding: Learning in Residence

Wesley’s Learning in Residence boarding facility, located at the Glen Waverley Campus, attracts students from across Australia and around the world.

Purpose-built for students in Years 9 to 12, Learning in Residence offers a vibrant and culturally diverse environment where learning and living are inextricably linked. From the courses on offer to the architecture and location of the facility, everything has been designed to further enhance student learning. Full-time boarding is available to international students during term time.

The Learning in Residence leadership team have strong pastoral care values, vast experience in boarding school environments and a commitment to the ongoing development and support of every boarder. They are assisted by our International Student Coordinator, who provides support and pastoral care to all international students.

Learning in Residence is a welcoming, safe and nurturing environment, providing boarders with a home away from home. Our holistic model of care is delivered by a dedicated team of mentors, academic supervisors and teachers, registered nurses, medical practitioners, counsellors, psychologists and allied health service professionals.

Living with a parent or Department of Home Affairs (DHA) approved relative

Students can live with a parent or a DHA approved relative if they are also living in Melbourne during the time of the student’s studies. With this option, the parent or DHA approved relative has responsibility for the student’s welfare.

All students under 13 years and students entering Wesley College in Year 8 must select this option.
