Principal’s Message

Since our establishment in 1994, we have welcomed students from schools and colleges across Tasmania and provided for them a challenging and fulfilling learning experience. Flexibility, breadth and depth are the hallmark of our learning pathways. We value and celebrate achievement and generosity. Our staff are dedicated to delivering an exemplary, multi-faceted and engaging curriculum. We care for the individual and understand the need to offer the broadest range of courses culminating in vocational qualification and work readiness through to academic profiling enabling access all levels of university entrance.

We occupy a unique position in the education community and our students have established a record of outstanding achievement in further study, career path, sporting and cultural endeavours and service to community. The College has excellent facilities at both campuses and commits to continued refurbishment and building in order to provide a comfortable, welcoming and modern community of learning.

Our aim is to companion our learners as young adults, supporting growth in self direction and resilience, while encouraging responsible contribution to community and stewardship of our Earth. The forming of good friendships and the building of 'school spirit' are vital to our community. Our students recognize this and value it. Relationships between our students and staff are described as being adult, respectful and supportive. Teachers regard their students as individuals and welcome the role of providing nurture, encouragement and guidance during these significant years.

Our College proclaims a powerful vision for the future of young people and has a deep understanding of our responsibility to help shape their lives. In choosing a Catholic school, our students choose to belong to a community: a community of faith. Our particular focus is to encourage our students to be strengthened by the values of the Gospel; to take responsibility for directing their learning pathway and creating their future, well prepared to make a positive contribution to a changing and challenging world.
