Stella Maris means Our Lady, Star of the Sea which is an ancient title for the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Stella Maris Society honours the founders of Star of the Sea College whose priority it was to provide a high-quality education to all young people.

Established in 1883, our distinguished history, and our core Catholic values, provide the foundation for an excellent contemporary education that allows our students to flourish.
Star of the Sea College educates young people spiritually, academically, physically and creatively in the Presentation tradition. We strive to empower young people to engage in critical reflection, leading to positive action for our world.
The Stella Maris Society was established in 2024. The Society welcomes and recognises all who wish to make a provision in their WILL to Star of the Sea College to ensure the College continues to make a difference in the lives of future students.
By providing the gift of education, you too can honour our founders in helping to make a difference beyond your lifetime. Positive action for our world.
