Welcome to Woodleigh's Senior Campus Portal.
Here, you will find everything you need to prepare for your first day.
First of all, take a virtual tour of the Senior Campus Grounds.
Woodleigh’s grounds are extensive and the buildings are spread far and wide. It can take time to get your bearings. Start with the Homestead buildings; that is your home away from home, where you will begin each school day. Then visit the Dame Elisabeth Murdoch Gallery and The Woodleigh Hall, explore the Year 10 Futures Studio, the Jago Performing Arts Centre and the Science Labs. At the back of our campus is the Brian Henderson Reserve and Farm - home to our chatty donkey.
Depending on your Year Level and your classes, you will use some areas of the campus more than others, but across your Woodleigh journey you will find yourself a part of our entire campus. Our built environment treads lightly on its natural surroundings and it makes for a beautiful, spacious place, one that is quieter than schools as you might know them.
Daily Life at Senior Campus
Whether you’re jumping off the bus or dropped off at the front of the school, you’ll need to know WHEN to be here, WHICH classes you have, WHERE they are and HOW to find them. You will have your bearings within a few days, don’t worry, but in the meantime, ask a friend or a teacher when you need help, and keep this map on your phone or in your bag in case of the occasional wrong turn.
The daily timetable will have minor updates for 2027, but we will let you know well in advance.

Music Program
Register Your Interest for Music Tuition 2027
Music is a valuable part of a student’s education and plays a big role in Woodleigh’s community and culture, whether as a participant or a spectator.
Individual and shared voice and instrumental lessons, orchestras, rock bands, choirs and instrumental ensembles are open to all students. Research shows that music education supports childhood cognitive development and academic and social outcomes. It’s also a lot of fun.

Activities Program
The Activities Program is where students stretch beyond the classroom. The program is part of the curriculum throughout the year; students can try Outdoor Education, Academic Enrichment, Arts and Crafts, Sports and Wellbeing, and Community Service, so there is always something new to try.
Places are allocated by ballot, a fair preference process, which means students don’t always land their first choice, but that’s by design. Some of the best growth happens when a student ends up somewhere unexpected, meets new people and discovers they’re more capable than they thought. Many arrive a little nervous and leave saying they’re glad they ended up exactly where they did.
For one week each year, the Activities Program runs on campus or offsite, replacing class time. It's is a beloved Woodleigh legacy and skills, hobbies and even career paths are forged through this program.
Canteen!
The Senior Campus Canteen operates Monday – Friday from 8 am - 2 pm.
Lunch orders are available daily using Flexischools, an online canteen ordering and payments system. Parents can top up student accounts via the App and student cards can be used to tap for payments.
