School may only be thirteen years of your life, but they are arguably the most influential. 

It's a time when you develop your identity, build your sense of self-worth, discover passions, navigate social dynamics and begin to understand your place in the world. The school where you ‘come of age’ is the foundation of the adult you become.

For this reason, everything we do at Woodleigh is to create and grow Adventurous Minds, for the benefit of today and tomorrow.

As pioneers in holistic education, Woodleigh offers a unique balance of comprehensive and dynamic learning within an inclusive community.

At Woodleigh, diversity is embraced and celebrated so everyone can thrive intellectually, emotionally and socially.

We work to create the highest quality school years possible, but, more than that, our philosophy is to set children up so they can find personal success in life and make a positive impact on our world.

Adventurous Minds can be intellectual and academic, but they are also curious, independent and creative problem solvers.

Our curriculum complements strong academic rigour with experiential learning, extensive camp and Activity programs, community engagement and First Nations partnerships – developing well-rounded students with a bigger and more meaningful perspective on the world.

As educators, it is critical that we keep one eye on the future, for our students and for our school – that’s why we are continuously researching and evolving, ensuring we are providing the strongest and most effective education for life.

Where other schools’ endgame is a number, an ATAR, ours is a person. 
A skilful and engaged life-long learner, and a positive contributor to their community.

Welcome to Woodleigh, the School for Adventurous Minds.
