Welcome, and thank you for visiting St Clare’s College website.
St Clare’s College is an inclusive, caring, Catholic community where learning is valued and students are given opportunities to grow in all dimensions of their life. The college is committed to promoting Gospel values in its policies and practices and to providing a safe and an empowering environment for students. We aim to work closely with parents to enable the students to reach their full potential.
The college is fortunate to have excellent staff and resources to support the academic and extra-curricular programs it offers. The physical resources include newly constructed areas for the Performing and Visual Arts, extensive access to Information and Communication Technologies, well-maintained grounds and a large library.
In order to cater for the needs of all students, the college offers a strong academic program as well as a number of Vocational courses in Years 11-12. In Years 7 and 8 the Foundation Studies program enables all students to experience a wide range of courses to provide a sound basis for making future academic decisions.
In Years 9 and 10 students have the opportunity to start specialising in areas of interest and by Years 11 and 12 they are able to choose individual academic programs that will provide for the most appropriate pathways beyond school. A very high proportion of our students gain a UAI (University Admissions Index) while other choose to take academic programs that include courses that provide national recognition in specific areas such as Hospitality, Fashion and Business Child Care.
There are many opportunities for students to participate in extra-curricular activities that complement the academic program including debating, drama, dance, music, a wide range of sports and leadership development programs. Student leadership has a high profile in the college through the Student representative Council and the strong House system.
The Pastoral Care program promotes the spiritual and social development of students as well as supporting their learning needs.
St Clare’s College is a vibrant learning community where students can develop their knowledge, skills, confidence and faith.
