Uniquely STEM centric, co-educational, IB only and future focused.
Westbourne College Sydney is the first campus within Westbourne’s growing global network. It follows the strong foundations of Westbourne School, UK and sets the academic standards for Singapore which opened in 2023. This global network will enable Westbourne students (past, present and future) to leverage from each other beginning from day 1.
Our mission is to provide Years 10, 11 & 12 students with the best possible preparation for the pursuit of global STEM careers, enabling Westbourne students to become leaders of the future in their chosen fields. Our graduate students now continue their passion in law, engineering, medicine, arts and computer science at Australian universities including USYD, ANU, UTS, University of Newcastle, Bond University as well as abroad at UCL (UK), University of Oxford and Nanyang Technology University (Singapore).

“The two-year IB DP journey was indeed a challenging yet rewarding one and I sincerely believe our success was not a mere reflection of the students’ merits by more importantly a testimony to the support of Westbourne staff.”
William – Westbourne Sydney graduate, Law and Civil Engineering (Honours) undergrad at USYD.

Westbourne offers an unrivalled learning environment for academically ambitious Years 10, 11 & 12 students. Based in professional offices in the heart of the UTS ‘Innovation and Technology’ precinct, opposite Powerhouse Museum, our college in Ultimo leverages close access to local tertiary facilities. Westbourne students conduct experiments in world class labs of UTS and UNSW and have access to online resources of University of Notre Dame to support their studies and research.
A wide-ranging global support mechanism has been uniquely tailored to benefit Sydney’s most ambitious STEM focused students:
- Optional exchange with Westbourne School UK, allowing students to build relationships before leaving school
- Invitation to Future Leaders Lab, a unique 5-day summer course hosted in the UK and Singapore for ambitious students looking to become future leaders
- Student-led activities to develop our students’ global leadership skills and local networks, and
- Respect like industry colleagues – from simple gestures including respectable business attire, first name basis with teachers and an open plan study environment.
