Our mission and ethos.

Our mission is inspired by the Uniting Church tradition — to be a community based on faith, hope and love; developing each individual intellectually, emotionally and spiritually to achieve their personal best.

Wesley College was founded in 1923 as a day and boarding school for boys.

It was named after John Wesley, co-founder of the Methodist Church (now under the banner of the Uniting Church). Wesley was a passionate crusader for social justice and this is a value we still hold dear.

To this day, the College is affiliated with the Uniting Church and seeks to provide our students with core values that we believe will set them up for life.

Ultimately, we believe that every student has powerful capabilities, skills and talents. Our goal is to support them in activating this potential to create their own future. We sum it up in our motto Audendo Atque Agendo, By daring & by doing. Whether it’s academic achievement, sporting achievement or community service, our students are encouraged to think on a grand scale and believe in action.
