The Yiramalay/Wesley Studio School brings about positive change through education to the children and families of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities who are part of the school.
Our story
The Studio School is founded on an equal partnership between two diverse cultures and communities: the Bunuba people of Fitzroy Valley and Wesley College in Melbourne. The Studio School delivers life-changing learning experiences that transcend culture and location.
Our locations
Spanning two sites – the remote outback of the Kimberley region and Glen Waverley in Melbourne – the school provides new pathways for students from Aboriginal communities to access mainstream education, and for Wesley students to learn on-country from Australia’s First Peoples.
Bunuba
The Bunuba people are the traditional owners of the land upon which the Yiramalay/Wesley Studio School stands. Central to Yiramalay’s immersive education program, Bunuba instil a sense of ownership, cultural pride, understanding and respect for people, language and country in every student.
Leadership and governance
The Yiramalay/Wesley Studio School’s leadership and governance structure ensures the best possible environment and outcomes for students and their families, while also supporting the Bunuba community.

Child protection
