VISION
St Vincent’s College is a dynamic learning community that cherishes its Catholic heritage. The College fosters creativity, discernment and leadership in the development of students to be courageous women of action.
Scientia cum Religione
The motto ‘Scientia cum Religione’ (knowledge and faith united) calls us to take the wisdom and understanding that comes with education and combine it with the virtues and values of religion – love, compassion, care, justice – so that we may truly live a life modelled on that of Jesus and his concern for people.
Essentially, as we look to a future filled with opportunity 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.
It is one of the oldest Catholic girls school in NSW for day students and boarders.
St Vincent’s College is a non-selective, contemporary Catholic day and boarding school for girls. The current ethos and approach is based on a belief that an independent education should provide advantage not entitlement.
The College avoids visible ostentation, balances opportunities with responsibilities and invites students to learn in a culture that is informing, transforming and empowering.
College Spirit
The girls treasure this spirit they affectionately call “Vinnies Spirit”. It is hard to define but easy to feel. A sense of optimism, cheerfulness and with a good dose of quirky!
