About Us

St Vincent’s College is an independent day and boarding school offering a contemporary Catholic education for girls in years 7-12. We're a dynamic learning community, fostering creativity, discernment, and leadership in the development of students to be courageous women of action. The girls treasure the College spirit they affectionately call “Vinnies Spirit”. It is hard to define but easy to feel. A sense of optimism, cheerfulness, and a good dose of quirky! As we look to a future filled with opportunities for women in Australia, St Vincent’s College is all about empowering young women to be independent in thought, compassionate in attitude and confident to act.

The College was founded by the Sisters of Charity in 1858 and is now under the stewardship of Mary Aikenhead Ministries. These five values inspired by the Sisters of Charity and Mary Aikenhead Ministries shape the community we are becoming:

● Generosity of Spirit

● Hope

● Justice

● Respect

● Service of the Poor
