Wellesley College Meets All Private School Registration Criteria
ERO's 2023 review confirms that Wellesley College satisfies all legal criteria required for registration as a private school under the Education and Training Act 2020. It is important to note that ERO reviews of private schools are significantly more limited in scope than those conducted for state schools, focusing only on registration compliance rather than broader educational quality. Parents should be aware this report does not provide a deep assessment of academic outcomes or teaching quality.
