Wesley College places wellbeing and social‑emotional development at the core of its learning. The Prospectus describes relationships and emotional literacy as key elements of learning and wellbeing. Play‑based learning supports social and emotional wellbeing in the Primary Years Program, with experiences that foster emotional literacy and personal safety. The College uses a restorative approach to behaviour management to address breaches of rights and responsibilities, supporting wellbeing and accountability. WesleySAFE promotes a speak‑up culture to support student wellbeing and safeguarding across the community.
The English Language Preparation Program (ELPP) is Wesley's in‑house intensive English language program. Designed for international and local students with English as an additional language, the program is available to students in Years 8–10. It is delivered at the Glen Waverley Campus and focuses on the four language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Before completing the program, students undertake the AEAS assessment and are interviewed by the Head of School to determine readiness for transition to mainstream classes; all transitions into mainstream take place at the end of a school term. Students can choose to continue into mainstream study at any Wesley campus after completion.
Wesley College emphasises mental wellbeing as part of its learning and wellbeing framework. The Prospectus highlights relationships and emotional literacy as elements of wellbeing, and the environment includes activities aimed at promoting social and emotional development. The school's approach to wellbeing is complemented by practices that support emotional wellbeing and resilience within the community.
Wesley College has a Child Safe Policy and a Child Safe Code of Conduct to protect students, with the policy applying to all adults in the College community and to all physical, virtual and online environments used by students. The policy supports the Victorian Child Safe Standards and Ministerial Order requirements, and safeguarding channels are provided through reporting procedures and safeguarding training as part of a comprehensive safeguarding program. The WesleySAFE whistleblowing service offers a formal mechanism to report concerns and promotes a speak‑up culture for safeguarding and child protection.
