International Enrolments

Study in Australia and broaden your horizons

Choosing a school overseas is an exciting opportunity as well as an important decision. Families are drawn to Westbourne for the quality of teaching, broad educational opportunities and supportive environment. Located in Melbourne – one of the world’s most liveable cities – students gain a future-focused education that builds confidence, independence and lifelong friendships, while helping them develop skills for further study and life beyond school.

We welcome students from all around the world and provide dedicated support to make the transition smooth and rewarding. Our team will work with you and your chosen agent to 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.
