School Performance Information 2025
Contextual Information
Seton Catholic College is a Catholic co-educational College located in Samson which is 15 kilometres from the Perth CBD and five kilometres from the heart of Fremantle
Seton Catholic College was established in January 1990 as a secondary school of the Archdiocese of Perth It is a Catholic College founded on the traditions and experience of the two pre-existing schools from which it was developed – St Brendan’s College, established in 1964 by the Society of African Missions and De Vialar College, established by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition in 1968 from their previously existing St Joseph’s School in Fremantle, established in 1855.
St Elizabeth Ann Seton whom the College is named after was the first American to be canonised in 1975 by Pope John Paul VI St Elizabeth Seton was a wife, mother, convert, educator, religious foundress, widow and saint who lived in America in the 19th Century Her legacy lives on through the work of the Sisters of Charity of St Joseph in their work supporting children, families and the elderly through the provision of education and health care services Mother Seton started the first free school, St Joseph's in Emmitsburg USA in 1810
The College is known for its high-quality pastoral care which permeates all aspects of school life Its importance is based on the belief that we are all made in God’s likeness and, therefore, each one of us is valued and deeply respected We believe both students and staff will give their best when they feel part of a positive community where there is respect for each other
Each student at Seton belongs to one of six Houses, each run by a Head of House who monitors the academic progress and general welfare of each of their students A program for new students ensures that they feel welcome, make new friends and are comfortable with College structures and programs. We see and believe that every interaction matters in developing and maintaining a flourishing Catholic school.
The College currently caters for 1128 students from Year 7 to 12 and offers the full range of academic and vocational subjects that parents and students have come to expect We are proud to promote and acknowledge students for their dedication and commitment to their studies whilst academically gifted students are exposed to a variety of learning experiences that are designed to present them with new challenges
School Improvement Plan | Catholic Identity | 2025
In 2025, Seton Catholic College continued to strengthen its mission as a Catholic learning community grounded in the values of the Gospel, inspired by our founders and committed to nurturing the spiritual, personal and communal growth of all members of our College Guided by the Catholic Education of Western Australia (CEWA) vision and our College strategic intents, we focused on three key improvement goals within the pillar of Catholic Identity:
1 The ongoing development of the College charism, House values and culture
2 A deepened concern for justice expressed through service and charity
3 Providing meaningful opportunities for staff and students to grow in their faith
The following report outlines the significant progress made throughout 2025 in each of these areas
1. Witnessing the Mission of Catholic Education
- Ongoing development of College charism, House values and culture
- Strengthening our Catholic Identity remained central to our mission throughout 2025 Across the College, intentional efforts were made to deepen understanding of the Seton charism and to further embed the unique identities of our six Houses – reflecting the House values of Compassion, Wisdom, Courage, Inspiration, Outreach and Justice
Key Achievements:
Promotion of College and House Patrons
Throughout the year, each House engaged in activities, liturgies, assemblies and learning experiences designed to strengthen understanding of their House Patron’s life and legacy. Staff and students participated in discussions, prayer reflections and formation sessions that connected patron stories to contemporary Catholic life and Seton’s RISE values
Development of House Prayers
In collaboration with the Campus Minister, staff and students worked together to create House Prayers These House Prayers were further developed and edited Staff and students were sent an online form to vote for their favourite prayer These prayers will be used at House assemblies and in PCG, liturgies, pastoral programs and House events, to cultivate a sense of enduring identity, pride and connection
Enhancing Unique House Identity
In 2025 there was further development of the visual identity of the College Houses, utilising the updated House Banner to strengthen House identity Visible House identity was strengthened through consistent branding across online resources, House carnivals, signage, liturgies and pastoral programs.
Student voice was prioritised, with House Captains and leaders contributing to shaping House events and rituals. These efforts strengthened community cohesion and gave students an increased sense of belonging.
2. Concern for Justice and the Promotion of Service & Charity
Promotion of core value of Service, understanding and appreciation of social justice through College and House charity initiatives
Living out Catholic Social Teaching is an essential expression of our Catholic Identity In 2025, Seton made significant progress in strengthening Christian Service Learning (CSL) structures, enhancing student and staff understanding of justice, and increasing opportunities for community outreach
Key Achievements:
Expansion of the Christian Service-Learning Program
The College continued to develop a more robust, meaningful, and clearly structured Christian Service-Learning Program from Years 7 – 12 Students completed service aligned to the six Seton service categories, strengthening their understanding of charity, justice, dignity, stewardship and community Service Hours Reflected on All School Reports
To emphasise the importance of service as part of student formation, Christian Service-Learning hours were formally included on all Semester Reports for students from Years 7–12 This ensured families and students remained aware of their progress and engagement in service throughout the year
Staff Professional Development in Ministry and Service
Staff engaged in a range of professional development opportunities designed to deepen their understanding of Catholic mission and ministry These sessions focused on:
Service-learning pedagogy
Catholic Social Teaching principles
Facilitating meaningful retreat experiences
These PD opportunities have strengthened staff confidence and capacity to support Christian ServiceLearning and the College Retreat Program
Ongoing Development of the Retreat Program (Years 7 – 12)
The College continued to expand and refine its holistic retreat continuum Each year level experienced a retreat aligned with one of the six House values (Compassion, Wisdom, Courage, Inspiration, Outreach, Justice) ensuring developmentally appropriate faith formation from Year 7 through to Year 12 This redesign supports a clear progression of spiritual development from Years 7 – 12
3. Providing Opportunities for Staff and Students to Grow in Their Faith
Deepening faith formation for both staff and students remained a major area of focus in 2025, recognising that faith identity grows through meaningful engagement, reflection and encounter
Key Achievements:
Faith Formation Initiatives for Staff
Staff were offered diverse opportunities to deepen their understanding of the Catholic tradition and strengthen their personal spirituality. These included:
Faith-based training workshops
Engagement with the College Chaplain through spiritual direction, reflection sessions and liturgical involvement
Ministry Professional Development Day, which included a retreat component and workshops on Christian Service-Learning, Catholic Social Teaching principles and facilitating meaningful retreat experiences
Professional Learning in Catholic Faith and Practice
In alignment with CEWA accreditation requirements, staff participated in professional learning sessions designed to build confidence and capacity in teaching and modelling Catholic identity
Opportunities for Students and Staff to Participate in Faith Formation Activities
Across the year, the College continued to develop opportunities for spiritual engagement These included meditation, liturgies, patron feasts, workshops led by the Chaplain and Campus Minister, and opportunities for student leadership in Ministry
Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion Training
Several Senior students and staff participated in specialised training to become Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion This formation strengthened the liturgical life of the College community and provided students with opportunities for meaningful spiritual leadership
2025 has been a year of significant growth for Catholic Identity at Seton Catholic College Through strengthened House identity, enhanced service-learning structures, expanded staff formation opportunities and a renewed commitment to justice, charity and faith development, the College has continued to embed its Catholic mission in every aspect of school life

Child Safety Report for Seton Catholic College Pastoral Community
Seton Catholic College Pastoral Community prioritises the safety of its students above all else. The College firmly believes in amplifying the voice of the child in all its endeavours. To ensure students feel safe and secure on campus, the College has implemented various measures
One such measure is the use of Microsoft Forms to gather regular feedback from students This tool has significantly enhanced student voice, enabling the College to better understand and address their needs A Wellbeing Survey conducted via Microsoft Forms revealed that students generally feel safe and have a strong sense of belonging at Seton Catholic College. The insights gained from this survey have been crucial in shaping the College’s safety procedures and wellbeing / life balance programs.

platform for students to develop valuable leadership skills By empowering our students to support each other, we aim to create a safer and more supportive environment for all The high number of applicants for these positions, far exceeding the available spots, highlights the pride and enthusiasm students have in being elected as Peer Support Leaders This overwhelming interest underscores the strong sense of community and commitment to leadership within our student body

WA’s only Microsoft Showcase School continuing to lead, grow, and innovate with purpose
This year has been one of growth in both familiar and new territory for Technology and Innovation at Seton The College has proudly maintained its status as Western Australia’s only Microsoft Showcase School, affirming Seton’s place among a select group of schools leading digital transformation in teaching and learning
We are also proud to have nine Microsoft Innovative Educator Experts on staff Donna Repace, Sarah Ellis, Alana Lawrence, Grant Watton, Michael Brook, Vic Broadley, Owen Neal, Alistair White and Cat Jack whose expertise and commitment to innovation continue to elevate the learning experience for our students Working in tandem with this status, Seton’s participation in the Nurture AI pilot program positions the College at the forefront of technological innovation and adaptation in the classroom This initiative has enabled staff and students to trial cutting-edge AI tools in purposeful, authentic ways that enhance learning, feedback, and data-informed practice
Building on the success of this work, the College will continue with Nurture AI in 2026, further strengthening Seton’s role as a leader in educational technology and ensuring our community remains future-focused and ready to embrace emerging digital opportunities
Being a Microsoft Showcase School is not about using the latest and greatest technology at all times and for all things. It is about getting exposure to the vast array of digital teaching and learning tools out there so we can drip them into our classrooms when appropriate and beneficial for our students.
The more that staff learn about the technology that is available, the more discerning that we can be about what we use.
Becoming an MIE Expert is about quality – not quantity – ICT integration.

CAMARADERIE PERSONAL JOB
Finance, Infrastructure and Compliance
Seton Catholic College operates within the following financial philosophy:
-Fees should be set at an affordable level for families that choose to send their children to the College No family should be denied the opportunity to attend due to their personal financial circumstances
-College expenses should be set to allow for a modest accumulation of reserves each year to contribute towards future development, while still providing for excellence in spiritual, pastoral and academic needs
-Facilities should be maintained at a level that optimises education opportunities
-Staff and students should be appropriately resourced to facilitate teaching and learning
-College Suppliers should act in an ethical business manner and wherever possible our procurement practices identify, assess and address modern slavery risks
2025 has seen strong enrolment demand at the College continuing to providing financial stability from an income perspective This has been tempered somewhat by increased inflationary pressures and new initiatives to comply with compliance and WHS requirements Nevertheless 2025 will see the College produce a modest surplus after depreciation and amortisation and increase our reserves for future capital development
To this end we have worked with the CEWA Infrastructure and Planning team in identifying the areas of the College that will be either renovated or rebuilt over the short, medium and long term Future projects will be funded by a combination of drawing down from our reserves and capital loans, so it is imperative that we continue to produce reasonable surpluses in the forthcoming years
In terms of minor capital works and campus improvements we have completed the following projects this year:
Library carpeting upgrade
A number of air-conditioning upgrades
Lighting upgrades to common areas, various classrooms, corridors, and security lighting
Student locker installations with the relocation of Year 7 locker area
Cool room freezer upgrade
Communal Barbecue and Meeting area
Furthermore, we have scheduled the following projects to be completed over the summer break in preparation for the start of the 2026 academic year:
·Conversion of existing locker space to new classroom
Conversion of a little used toilet into a modern UAT
Access door automation upgrade in various areas to provide better wheelchair access
Summary of 2025 Budget
Looking forward to 2026 we have set a tight expenditure budget with most expenses being at the lower of last year’s budget or the average of the last three year’s expenses This has been a requirement for CEWA schools in order to rein in discretionary expenditure system wide It will be a challenge to meet these lower budgets requiring increased scrutiny of the monitoring process
In setting the 2026 tuition fees it is necessary to provide for an increase of 5 5% to keep up with the pace of inflation and salary movements As a result, the 2026 annual tuition fee will be set at $6,029 – an increase of $315 This remains one of the lowest tuition fees for a private secondary school in the Metropolitan area As always, any families experiencing financial difficulties will be able to discuss this confidentially with the College so that we can support on a case-by-case basis In addition, any family on a Health Care Card will have their tuition reduced to $1,755 for the year
Looking forward, our future enrolment growth is the strongest it has been for some time with the College already being at full capacity for 2026, 2027 and 2028
A summary of our 2026 budget appears below.
