College Overview

St Kevin's College is a Catholic school for boys in the Edmund Rice tradition. St Kevin's provides an exemplary standard of education from Prep to Year 12, as well as a coeducational Early Learning Centre, for over 2,100 students, led by over 350 staff across five campus sites, each catering for the specific needs of learners as they embark on, and fulfil, their educational journey.

The College has faithfully partnered with families in serving the educational needs of boys from the metropolitan region of Melbourne since 1918 with students from over 140 postcodes, including those from Indigenous communities and migrant families new to Australia. The College is fortunate to have an extended family of students, teachers, parents and Old Collegians who form a community that is committed to the Catholic education of young people in the tradition of Edmund Rice.

St Kevin's College is a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria, through which the College participates in a offers a comprehensive range of competitive sports with other APS schools.

Throughout the College, opportunities for student leadership are provided and strongly encouraged. Senior students take significant roles and exercise responsible guidance and role modelling. The College Captain, Deputy Captains, Prefects and Officers comprise the 72 leadership positions at Year 12 which has a natural flow to all other year levels. The next five years will be a major period of ongoing development at St Kevin's with a focus on embedding a culture of respect that sees inclusivity, transparency, communication, collaborative decision-making, student efficacy and staff engagement accompanied by the furnishing of partnerships within our Catholic context as fundamental pillars to write the next chapter.

The Respectful Relationship curriculum at St Kevin's continues to evolve as part of Professional Learning for staff and the teaching of students. The inclusion of health subject units in the Respectful Relationship curriculum, mental health and well-being, and advocacy for student voice is a key focus for the College. The wellbeing of the student is paramount, with the College seeking to foster a culture centred in relationships which promote positive behaviour and improved learning outcomes, and enhance the capacity to develop the holistic character of all boys. The College encourages students to pursue the truth, to discern a meaning and purpose for their existence and to enrich their spiritual lives. Respect, truth, freedom, justice, love and service are the guiding principles of all relationships and social activities. As a leader of learning and teaching, the College recognises the liberating power of education, seeking to foster an enduring love of learning and a drive for excellence in learning through engaging programs, quality teaching and through a culture of expectation. This sense of culture is extended to all members of the College through a strong sense of belonging, as well as the desire to care for, support and encourage all in the community.
