Choosing a school overseas is an exciting opportunity as well as an important decision. Families are drawn to Westbourne for the quality of teaching, strong academic outcomes and the supportive environment that helps students flourish. Located in Melbourne – one of the world’s most liveable cities – students gain a future-focused education that builds confidence, independence and lifelong friendships, preparing them for success at school, university and beyond.

We welcome students from all around the world and provide dedicated support to make the transition smooth and rewarding. Our team will guide you through every step of the enrolment process, so that you can focus on the exciting experience ahead.

Living in Australia

We want every international student to feel safe, supported and connected. Students live with local host families, managed through the Australian Homestay Network. Families are carefully selected and provide a comfortable private bedroom, nutritious meals and daily guidance. Our International Student Coordinator also checks in regularly and is always available for extra support.

Living with a homestay family offers much more than a place to stay – it’s a welcoming introduction to life in Melbourne. Friendly hosts help students discover local culture and enjoy the city’s many experiences – from world-class universities and cultural festivals to beautiful beaches, parks and nature reserves. They help students feel at home while building confidence and independence in a new environment.
