Woodleigh School is an ECC - Year 12 co-educational, independent school with a total enrolment of approximately 800 on two campuses, serving the Mornington Peninsula. Woodleigh School is an independent school with a contemporary flavour. While we are definitely an academic school, with fine VCE results equipping the large majority of our students for tertiary study, we also provide a number of other very important dimensions that prepare students for the challenges of life in the twenty-first century. We affirm openness, independence, self-motivation and initiative. These are elements you can sense as soon as you enter Woodleigh. We are firmly co-educational, committed to the belief that this is the only suitable setting to educate both boys and girls for adult life. Woodleigh is founded on a philosophy in which the welfare of students, teachers and parents is central. We believe that learning and personal growth are dependent on developing self-esteem and having successful relationships with others. We do not have a list of school rules as such, but we encourage students to measure their behaviour against our three respects: Respect for Self, Respect for Others, Respect for the Environment. The School has strong academic programs leading into a wide range of VCE offerings. We were proud that five Premier's VCE Awards were made to Woodleigh students in 2010 and our students regularly excel in many areas. Our co-curricular program is particularly diverse and varied, including sport, cultural, public speaking, outdoor education, and environmental programs. Under our "Broadening Horizons" program, we offer overseas exchange, community service, and indigenous awareness initiatives. All this is underpinned by a particularly strong pastoral care program, supplemented by appropriate challenge and support programs. Above all, a strong sense of community, based on positive respectful relationships, is at the heart of our school. The School is well resourced.
