Boarding Scholarships for 2028 Entry
Boarding lies at the heart of Westminster School; it is part of our foundation and our story. Established in the early 1960s to support families from rural and regional Australia, our Boarding program continues to honour that legacy today.
Many of our Boarding students come from country towns and farming communities, bringing with them a deep connection to the land and a strong sense of community. In celebration of this spirit, we proudly offer Boarding Scholarships, made possible by the generosity of our dedicated benefactors, to help students thrive both academically and personally.
Our modern Boarding facilities provide a safe, welcoming, and enriching environment where students can live, learn, and grow. Preference is given to applicants from rural or regional areas, and those shortlisted for interview will be asked to share evidence of their community involvement, service, achievements, and their motivation for joining Westminster.
