St Aloysius College

A Word from Principal, Mary Farah

I am delighted to lead the St Aloysius College community as we transition toward being fully co-educational. While we honour the rich history and enduring traditions of our College, we strive toward writing an exciting new chapter in the St Aloysius story. The College will continue to deliver a curriculum forged from the Mercy tradition, upholding Catherine McAuley’s vision of a balance in education of academic learning with compassion for others and a genuine consideration for our world. Our curriculum is designed around service for our planet and wider community, through which students are empowered to develop and uphold the Mercy values of compassion, justice, respect, hospitality and service. St Aloysius students thrive in an environment of inspired curiosity, consideration and confidence, empowering each individual to develop their own opinions, find their own voice, and walk their own path to confidently contribute to an ever-changing world.

Life is Co-Ed and so are we

St Aloysius College proudly celebrates a significant milestone in 2024 as it welcomes its second co-educational Year 7 cohort, following the momentous transition from an all-girls institution to a co-educational format that commenced in 2023. With over 135 years of rich history, the College has embraced this change, responding to the strong desire of families in Melbourne's Inner North West to provide a Catholic education for both their sons and daughters. The overwhelming support from parents, students, and staff underscores the College community's commitment to fostering an environment where students thrive academically, personally, and socially.

An Empowering Education

Academic programs at St Aloysius have been designed to encourage a lifelong enthusiasm for learning and discovery. We have a curriculum that blends the very best of educational tradition with an innovative, inquiry-based cross-curricular approach that allows students to make connections, synthesise knowledge and develop literacy skills in a collaborative culture underpinned by a focus on the wellbeing of and respect for the individual.

A Mercy Education

Rooted in the Catholic tradition of the Sisters of Mercy, St Aloysius College goes beyond academics, exemplifying the profound benefits of a values-based education. Guided by the Mercy Education values of compassion, justice, hospitality, service, respect, and courage, students are not only prepared for academic success but also empowered to navigate the complexities of the modern world with a holistic approach to mind, body, and spirit.

Inspiring Bright Futures

At St Aloysius we recognise the very important role that social, cultural and physical wellbeing play in the learning, personal growth and development experienced by our students during their six years at the College. The St Aloysius curriculum is enriched and extended by a vast co-curricular offering that is alive to the needs and wishes of the students and evolves as they do; the program encompasses sport, camps and outdoor education, drama, music and various school-based wellbeing programs. Students participate in a wide range of intra- and inter-school sporting competitions, creative and performing arts programs (including choir, orchestra, production) and social and cultural extensions including debating and public speaking. The College has a global focus with sister schools in Milan, Italy and Kyoto, Japan that our students are able to visit as part of their languages and arts studies.

Where Individuals Succeed Together

St Aloysius staff are exceptionally well qualified in their various fields (academic and beyond!) and, most importantly, are committed to encouraging each student to achieve their own personal best, whatever this may look like. Throughout their secondary education years in this close-knit school, St Aloysius students are known by, and know, their teachers. These strong relationships foster a culture of inquiry, and our students leave as creative, independent thinkers with a love of learning and solid foundations that prepare them to step out into the world and embrace their collective futures.

In a culture cultivated by the individuality of each member of the community, there is no ‘typical’ St Aloysius Student. We celebrate our diversity. We accept all and thrive on the fusion of cultures and backgrounds that enable our students to flourish. The College is the thread that connects these vibrant, dedicated, and thoughtful young people.
