We continually strive for deeper engagement, stronger support and more active advocacy. Our College community extends well beyond current students to include ex-students, parents and past parents, staff and former staff, members of the Parents and Friends Association, and many supporters from the wider community.

Within the Advancement Office, we are deeply conscious that we represent a dynamic Catholic learning environment with a proud and rich history dating back to 1858 and the pioneering work of the Sisters of Charity.

The Sisters of Charity embodied an entrepreneurial spirit, working collaboratively with the broader community to bring ideas to life and create lasting impact. Today, the Advancement Office is guided by that same legacy of service-centred leadership, innovation and purpose.

At St Vincent’s, we belong to a diverse and inclusive community that nurtures creativity, discernment and leadership. It is a place where young girls are formed into courageous women of action. Beyond the College gates, a strong and enduring network continues to support our students and families. Together, across generations, we celebrate different eras united by the same enduring spirit. different times, yet the same strong spirit.

The specific role of the Advancement Office is to ensure all members of the College community are nurtured, encouraged and presented with opportunities to be involved. We strongly espouse a “can-do” attitude. We like to make things happen. We connect people and bring them together. We are an interface – a hub, linking people from far and wide. We channel the goodwill in the community and focus it for good. As much as possible, we amplify the Vinnies spirit.

In addition to providing support to the College, we also oversee philanthropy and fundraising to ensure the best possible future for our students.

The Advancement Office is the registered office of St Vincent’s College Foundation, which together with the Parents and Friends Association, and the St Vincent’s College Ex-Students' Union provides vast ongoing support that ensures the College is able to continue to develop and meet the needs of students, today and into the future.
