Wesley College in New Zealand will close its boarding hostels in 2025 over safety and culture issues, including bullying and violence allegations.
Wesley College in New Zealand, the nation’s oldest secondary school, will close its boarding hostels at the end of Term 4 in 2025 due to ongoing safety concerns and issues with hostel culture.
The decision follows allegations of violence, including forced “coverings” before assaults, and a 2023 statutory management appointment over bullying and student welfare.
The school’s trust board cited the need for structural changes in culture, staffing, and safeguarding, with a full review planned during the closure to ensure student wellbeing.
The move aims to minimize academic disruption while resetting hostel operations in alignment with the school’s values and Methodist principles.
