We are a school for all, welcoming, nurturing and empowering all students.

St Mary’s College is inner Melbourne’s only Catholic co-educational?secondary school. 

Our values of respect, justice, compassion, inclusivity, and courage guide our teaching and support of students. Girls and boys at St Mary’s College learn together in an environment of respect, excellence, enquiry, challenge, and fun. Our learning environment reflects the world beyond the classroom.

The size of our College allows all students to be known and develop a deep sense of belonging to our community. Our students are active participants in their learning, who are empowered to think and act for themselves. We nurture a love of learning inspiring each student to achieve their best. Our contemporary learning practices offer immersion opportunities within and outside the classroom to apply learning to the real world.

Our College offers a mix of modern learning environments and historic architecture that provides a physical link to our history and Catholic traditions of Edmund Rice and Nano Nagle. We are proudly a school in the Edmund Rice Tradtion. 

Our students are challenged and empowered to build a just world for all applying our Catholic values of compassion, justice, and peace, enacted within our community.

Year 9 the Nobilitas Program at St Mary’s College is an exciting experience of collaborative learning where positive relationships, student voice and real-world thinking are prioritised. We explore relationships with one another; relationships with family and community and most importantly relationship with self. Throughout the year we connect students with the wider community in rich and meaningful ways, working with local councils, and community groups, Indigenous groups and voluntary organisations. A truly transformative year. 

We look forward to providing your child with a caring and supportive environment where every student has a place and a voice and can add value to the world they enter when they leave our College. We invite you to be part of our College community and encourage you visit to see what makes our College special.
