Who We Are
Shaping learners. Shaping leaders. Since 1867.
For 160 years Westbourne has been shaping learners who inspire the world.
Tradition and innovation intersect, creating a dynamic, contemporary education that enables each student to discover their passions and exceed their potential.
Acknowledged as one of Australia’s best schools with multiple awards from the Australian Education Awards, we are a community that nurtures character and agency whilst inspiring young people to be the leaders of tomorrow.
Learning shapes who we are. Our students don’t just learn mathematics – they become mathematicians. They don’t just explore art – they see the world as artists. And when they play music, they are musicians. A Westbourne education isn’t preparation for life – it is life, unfolding through an identity of being and becoming.
