Wesley College, South Perth 2024 Report
Ross Barron, Headmaster

As a Uniting Church school, Wesley College, South Perth is committed to Reconciliation and Social Justice. The College continues to support and welcomes a positive working partnership with AIEF which in 2024 had four students on scholarship.

Our cultural program The Moorditj Mob complements mainstream education at Wesley College. Moorditj is the Nyoongar word for strong or excellent and the word represents the strength and resilience that students develop while they are at Wesley.

Wesley College sits in Wadjuk Nyoongar Country on the banks of the Derbarl Yerrigan in South Perth. In 2024, 40 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students wereare enrolled at the College and caome from all different geographical locations in Western Australia in which in cases come from diverse indigenous cultures.

The cultural program is, in essence, a Nyoongar program that teaches students the language and culture of the Nyoongar people. However, as indicated students travel from all over Western Australia to study at the college and these students bring their own knowledge and identities which they share with Nyoongar students and non-Aboriginal students.

2024 has been another significant year for the program with once again NAIDOC week being a major highlight for not only the program but for the entire college. The Moorditj Mob students delivered various activities across all areas of the school which continues to provide cultural awareness and education for all students and the week culminates with a whole school assembly in which the students deliver a dance performance.

The students continued to deliver several performances outside of Wesley at various schools and organisations which provides provided them with the opportunity to enhance their reputation and establish networks throughout the wider community.

As per previous years, the College continues to support the students with additional academic support to help assist in the student reaching their potential academically.

Additionally, the students are provided with career guidance and support to assist their progress through their desired pathway. This has included several students in year 11 and 12 participating in Aboriginal School Based traineeships in the areas of Community Services, Building and Construction and Automotive.
