A home away from home.

We warmly welcome both students and parents or guardians to the Hellyer College Student Residence. Understanding the unique needs of young people living away from home for the first time, our team is committed to providing a safe, supportive environment where residents can thrive academically, socially, and personally. The Residence is an important part of the Hellyer College community, offering a home away from home during the College terms.

We encourage parents and guardians to maintain close communication with Residence Staff, who are dedicated to supporting the wellbeing and success of every resident. Our door is always open for conversations about your child's experience and welfare.

Our aim is to provide a unique and enriching experience, helping students develop essential life skills such as independence, respect, resilience and tolerance—all while building strong, lasting friendships.

The Hellyer Student Residence exists to support Hellyer College students who choose to relocate from the rural and isolated areas of King Island, Circular Head and the West Coast to complete Years 11 and 12.

Life at the Student Residence is guided by the College's values of high expectations, relationships, respect, integrity, resilience, learning and creativity.

The Operations Manager and staff work collaboratively with parents and guardians and Hellyer College staff to ensure every resident is supported to create their future in a caring and respectful environment.

We aim to ensure residents enjoy high levels of attendance and achieve their TCE, along with other VET qualifications and, if desired, a competitive ATAR.
