About us
At Kew Student Residence (KSR) we provide supportive, friendly and affordable accommodation for students who are studying in Melbourne. KSR welcomes students from all backgrounds into our community.
Kew Student Residence has been a ministry of Kew Baptist Church since 1962- providing affordable accommodation for students in a safe and caring environment. Our mission is that as a ministry of Kew Baptist Church, Kew Student Residence would provide a home based on Christian values that is inclusive, authentic and meaningful, based on a disposition of care and service. KSR is a place that allows everyone to positively contribute to KSR life and to belong, explore and grow.
There are lots of good reasons for you to choose KSR as the place to live while at University. Not only do you share life with others in a supportive community, have all your meals and utilities covered, and make friends for life, it is also a place where you are encouraged to grow as a person.
Our vision is that KSR will be the kind of environment in which all members of the community will have a strong sense of belonging and connectedness which will enable them to explore who they are – their sense of self, values, beliefs and purpose – and to grow as people and as contributors to society.
Our values at KSR are Respect, Care, Openness, Serve and Learn. We encourage all students in our community to uphold these values as they share life with each other.
