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.

These five values, Generosity of Spirit, Hope, Justice, Respect, Service of the Poor, inspired by the Sisters of Charity and Mary Aikenhead Ministries, shape the community we are.
