Principal’s Welcome Welcome to St Clare’s College where we have been educating, empowering and supporting students for more than 50 years. St Clare’s College is an inclusive, caring, Catholic community where learning is valued and students are given opportunities to grow in all dimensions of their life. Modelled on the life and teachings of Jesus and inspired by the example of St Clare in its policies and practices, the College is committed to providing a safe and empowering environment for all students. The College offers a strong academic program as well as a number of vocational courses in Years 11 and 12. In Years 7 and 8 the Foundation Studies Program enables all students to experience a wide range of courses to provide a sound basis for making future academic decisions. The Pastoral Care Program promotes the spiritual and social development of students as well as supporting their individual learning needs. The social justice, volunteering and outreach programs are key focus areas for the St Clare’s community.

Student leadership has a high profile in the College through the Student Representative Council and the strong House system. There are many opportunities for students to participate in extra–curricular activities that complement the academic program including: debating, drama, dance, music, a wide range of sports and leadership development programs. The College has professional dedicated staff who have the best interest of the students at heart. The staff maintain their currency in teaching and learning by attending professional learning workshops and conferences on a yearly basis. We look forward to a long association with all of our families and hope that your time at St Clare’s College is enjoyable and rewarding. Brad Cooney Principal
