About Wesley Katijin
Welcome to Wesley Katijin, a unique program at Wesley College located in South Perth, Western Australia. As a co-educational institution up to Year 6, Wesley Katijin is exclusively for boys from Year 7 to Year 12, with a dedicated Middle School for the adolescent years.
Founded in 1923, Wesley College embraces a non-selective and egalitarian approach, welcoming students from all backgrounds who share a common desire to achieve personal excellence. Our philosophy revolves around each child reaching their personal best, recognizing that this will vary for each individual. Discover the countless opportunities for excellence that await your child here at Wesley.
One of the unique aspects of Wesley College is our inclusive enrollment policy. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive and succeed, which is why we do not require interviews or tests prior to offering a place at Wesley College.
As a Wesley student, you will find everything you need right at your fingertips. From links to the uniform shop and bus timetables to the latest booklists, we strive to make your experience as seamless as possible.
But Wesley College is more than just a school; it is a thriving community. With numerous opportunities to get involved and strengthen your relationships with the school, you will truly feel a sense of belonging and camaraderie.
Now, let us introduce you to Katijin, a program like no other. At Katijin, students are temporarily relocated from the main campus to the Western Australian Rowing Club in the heart of Perth CBD. The name "Katijin" comes from a Noongar term meaning 'to listen and to learn'. During their time away from school, students engage in specific activities designed to equip them with the skills they will need to excel in the high-pressure academic environment of Senior Schooling.
Katijin is not just an ordinary journey; it is a facilitated ritual process that guides our future community members towards their new social status. We believe in the importance of rites of passage and the transition from boyhood to manhood. Through Katijin, we provide life-affirming experiences that allow students to tap into their self-awareness, develop effective teamwork skills, and become motivated and contributing members of their communities.
This program takes a cross-curricular approach to learning, emphasizing real-world experiences, community engagement, small group dynamics, and experiential learning. Students still learn subjects like math and English, but in an innovative hands-on fashion that connects them to the world around them. From independently navigating their way to the meeting point in the CBD to assisting at Uniting West's Tranby Day Centre for the homeless, Katijin offers a transformative experience.
As one parent shared, "Now that our son has graduated, we can really see how Wesley gave him the tools he needed for success." At Wesley Katijin, we honor the cultural, spiritual, and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. We acknowledge and pay our respects to the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation, the Traditional Owners of the Land on which we stand. We accept the invitation to walk together for a better future.
Embark on a remarkable educational journey at Wesley Katijin and join us in daring and doing for a brighter tomorrow.
