Wesley College’s boarding and DHA approved relative accommodation options help interstate, rural and international students settle into Melbourne and Wesley life.
A safe, comfortable place to stay during your studies is essential for a positive school experience. Choosing the best option to meet the needs of your family is important and our admissions team can help you navigate the following options.
Boarding
Our contemporary Learning in Residence boarding facility is open to students from across Australia and around the world.
Purpose-built for students in Years 7 to 12, boarding is fully integrated into Wesley’s Glen Waverley Campus.

Live with a parent or Department of Home Affairs (DHA) approved relative
Students can live with a parent or a DHA approved relative if they are also living in Melbourne during the time of the student’s studies. With this option, the parent or DHA approved relative has responsibility for the student’s welfare.
All students under 13 years and students entering Wesley College in Year 8 must select this option.
Homestay
Students in Year 9, who are over 13 years of age, may also reside in a Wesley College-approved homestay. Wesley College’s international student team are responsible for the onboarding, approval and ongoing engagement with families who welcome students to a homestay arrangement.
Students at the St Kilda Road and in some cases the Glen Waverley, campus may request a homestay arrangement as an accommodation option. Wesley has offered homestay experiences for many decades and, over this time, have given rise to lifelong relationships and opportunities for ongoing international engagement.
