Westminster believes every child’s inherent sense of adventure is one of their greatest capacities for learning. Through Adventurous Education, students are encouraged to embrace challenge, build confidence and achieve more than they first imagined. This approach extends beyond the classroom, shaping capable, curious and grounded young people ready to lead fulfilling lives.
An Early Learning to Year 12 coeducational day and boarding School set on 23 hectares in Marion, Westminster combines a proud history with a forward-looking vision. Across beautiful grounds and outstanding facilities, students of all ages are supported to explore their interests and grow in a dynamic and evolving educational environment.
Since opening in 1961, Westminster has been strengthened by a connected and generous community of staff, parents, Old Scholars and friends. This enduring spirit continues to define the School, creating a welcoming and down-to-earth culture experienced each day.
