Wesley College, a prestigious IB World School in Melbourne, serves a diverse student body across three campuses. With a curriculum that spans the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP), and the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), managing all aspects of learning, communication, and student well-being was a significant challenge.
"Managing multiple curricula under one roof, with such a large and dynamic student body, was a complex task. We needed a platform that could adapt to the evolving demands of each program while maintaining a unified experience for all stakeholders."
How Schoolbox Supports Learning
Schoolbox gives Wesley College the flexibility to manage their curriculums with ease. From the PYP to VCE, the platform brings everything together in one place, allowing teachers to tailor content and assessments while maintaining a consistent experience for all students.
"Schoolbox provides students with all the content and course information they need in an interactive way—perfect for inquiry-based learning in the IB program. The platform also gives us the flexibility to adjust learning pathways and assessments behind the scenes, allowing us to support each student’s needs."
How Schoolbox Supports Communication
Communication between teachers, parents, and students was once fragmented across various platforms and channels. Schoolbox unified all communication in one place, ensuring that everyone stays on the same page. From academic updates to school handbooks, the platform consolidates resources in a way that’s easily accessible for all.
"It’s a one-stop shop—everyone speaks the same language and finds the information they need in one place. The Schoolbox app has made it even easier for parents to stay informed and engaged, reducing the confusion caused by multiple communication channels."
How Schoolbox Supports Pastoral Care
Wesley College places a high priority on student well-being, and Schoolbox supports this by allowing teachers to track and document student well-being across multiple years. The platform ensures that relevant information is available to the right people, enabling a proactive approach to pastoral care.
"The Pastoral Care module is fantastic—it allows student well-being notes to follow them through the years, ensuring the right people have the right information to support every student. This feature has been instrumental in ensuring that we stay on top of student welfare, no matter how much time has passed."
Reducing Teacher Workload
By bringing everything into one place, teachers at Wesley College have more time to focus on what they do best—teaching. Lesson plans, student progress tracking, and class pages are all integrated, reducing the administrative load and making it easier to stay organised. This integration allows educators to spend less time managing systems and more time engaging with their students.
"Now that we are a couple of years into our journey with Schoolbox, there has definitely been a decrease in teacher workload. The system’s ease of use means that we spend less time troubleshooting and more time teaching."
