Westbourne Grammar School

Westbourne Grammar School was founded in 1867 by visionaries with a burning desire to provide a great education for the young people of Melbourne’s west. It is enormously proud of the heritage and look forward to welcoming students to community and sharing achievements with them. The school is well managed and stable, with well qualified, dedicated teachers who empower their students and support them to be the best they can be. As educators, the shared purpose is to motivate and inspire, to communicate its vision, to champion and promote change in classrooms and to plan for the future. Students have opportunities to safely explore and experience global opportunities though formal curricular and co-curricular programs. These flow on from language and Performing Arts programs as well as community and service throughout the school. In an era of ever-increasing social, technological and cultural change, schools will continue to transform themselves. For the students, their world will be one that is full of promise. In welcoming international students to an enriching and supportive environment, the school works closely with each individual to ensure they are making good academic progress, are well informed about subject choice and university entrance requirements, and feel secure in their surroundings. The Senior School campus is located at Truganina in Melbourne’s west, approximately 20 kms from the city centre. It is a safe and caring environment, with the majority of international students allocated to local homestay families within close proximity to the School.
