Rosanne Guadagnini

"Wesley Institute definitely has changed my life; I’ve made some amazing friends through it. I’ve been able to find God through coming to Wesley and it’s been one of the best things that has ever happening to me."

Matthew Glowacki

"I think Wesley was just a great place for me to study. I could pursue music, which I love, but also learn the bible and that’s probably been the most valuable thing of all. It is a very caring, supportive environment but also challenging academically and I’ve really valued the years that I’ve studied here."

Daniel Op De Veigh

"WI is a great place to equip Christians to serve God better and to be lights in the community."

Nick Freestone

"I think Wesley Institute was really incredible for me because I could do music that I wanted to study, that I wanted to write, that I wanted to express instead of being cubed into a genre or some specific field. It was really cool to be able to express my own kind of music through my study and to be able to perfect it and hone it and get it out into the real world."

Vicki Heilbronn

"To me Wesley means great fun, lots of teachers that really get to know you and because it’s such a small community everyone gets to know everyone so it’s very close knit and everyone’s there to support each other. It means friends and family that will be there for you always not just before graduation."

Andrew Martin

"I grew a lot from Wesley, and could say I went from a boy to a man. I grew a lot and learnt a lot and it gave me skills to work on later in my life and I really appreciate Wesley for that."

Asher Graieg

"It's been very exciting to study alongside lots of people who have the same desires and Joys "for the Joy of the Lord is my strength". There have been so many interesting things to see, hear and do while studying at Wesley Institute and I'm glad to have people who I can experience it with and who can "spur me on towards Love and good deeds". I pray that in all I do I am thanking God for what he does, the sounds and harmonies I hear and the kindness of people that pray with me when I struggle. I am constantly learning and growing and it is quite hard sometime; "work out your salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who is at work within you to will and to work according to his good pleasure" (Philippians 2:12-13)."

Kirili Kwan

"It is such a privilege to be able to study music in a Christian community environment, which is so caring not only of achieving great results but also of your personal relationship with the Lord. Wesley Institute provides a great blend of ministry and music, all for His glory!"

Victoria Collopy

"Wesley Institute has been a real blessing to me. It's not just a place where I have studied but a whole other family to me, and I think I've really grown not only as a musician but as a person, and it has given me far more than I ever expected."

Elizabeth Beilharz

Colleen O’Connell

“I really enjoyed studying at Wesley because it was a good environment in which to feel safe, to explore my creativity, to write music and to be able to fail at some stage if that had to happen. It was a really supportive environment. I made my best friends at Wesley.”

Christie-Lee Henderson

“I really enjoyed getting to know everyone at Wesley, the Christian community and the grace that I have received through that.”

Carissa Lehmann

“Wesley Institute was a huge learning curve for me and I learned so much about myself and so much about God and how to use my music, coinciding with being a Christian.”

Riikka Honkanen

“I did a Bachelor of Creative Arts and the thing I learned the most was just more direction on where I want to go in life and what I want to do now that I’m finished.”

Michael Meacock

"Wesley Institute meant to me a chance to mature and grow as well as maturing in my craft. At Wesley, what I learnt about my relationship with God and about how that comes together with my specific gifting, I probably got more out of than my mark at the end of the day. So for me Wesley Institute was an experience that very much made me who I am today."
