Find your feet. Make the leap
In an unrivalled setting between the bush and the sea, a Wellesley College education is filled with opportunities and grounded in nurturing relationships and values. Here, every boy is empowered to find his feet and leap into the future.
Room to explore and space to grow
Your son will discover passions and build strengths through intentional learning, including the exploration of opportunities with our specialist teaching team, from Year 1. Whether he loves arts, coding or sports, he will find his place to shine at Wellesley. We blend cherished traditions with innovative teaching, nurturing curious minds and independent spirits.
Relationships that matter
Our teachers truly know your son. They celebrate his efforts, understand his challenges, and cheer on his dreams. In this warm, supportive environment where every boy matters, students feel safe to take risks, dust themselves off after setbacks, and grow into confident young men who believe in themselves.

We nurture the whole child, body, mind and spirit, creating a community where everyone belongs. Your son will enter his secondary school years knowing himself, ready to embrace his future with confidence.
Real world, real learning, real adventures
