“I was nervous starting Year 7 because I hardly knew anyone, but I made friends straight away. The teachers are incredibly caring and approachable, and being a smaller school means you’re always recognised for your efforts. I love Maths and PE because they’re both challenging and fun, and I’ve had so many chances to represent the school in sports, especially basketball. Getting to Simonds is easy, I catch the tram, but lots of students take the train or ride in. Simonds has become a place where I feel supported, involved, and confident.”

"We have such fond memories of Simonds Catholic College. The school community provided a fantastic foundation for Amin’s future. Amin wanted to add that he felt consistently encouraged by his teachers, the Principal, and his peers alike. As a mother, sending my children to Simonds was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Having them attend the school genuinely made my life easier because of the discipline and focus it instilled in their schoolwork. I truly can’t thank the school enough for that support"

Simonds Catholic College is a unique inner-city school for boys with outstanding teachers, who deliver high quality programs to students within a spiritual, academic, cultural, social and sporting dimension.  There is a very strong sense of community and partnership amongst students, staff and parents as the College strives to produce the best possible outcomes for all students.

Simonds Catholic College is a vibrant multicultural community, where student successes are valued and acknowledged.  Our innovative curriculum encourages both collaborative and individual learning through an extensive range of subjects and co-curricular activities and will equip our students with the skills necessary to succeed in their lives.

As a school community, we place great emphasis on our values of Catholic beliefs and teachings, pastoral programs, respectful behaviour, inclusivity, fully committed teachers and motivated students.
