Why choose us?
All Saints Catholic College students live a journey at One School across a Dual Campus as One Community. They experience alignment of their entire learning journey from K–12 in a contemporary school climate. We place great importance on the development of the whole person: spiritually, academically, socially and physically.
Students have access to specialised programs and the opportunity to learn in a safe, nurturing environment underpinned by gospel values. Our students are challenged within a dynamic and innovative curriculum to become independent thinkers willing to take risks and become lifelong learners.
Principal’s Message
Charism
All Saints Catholic College is founded on the charisms of the Sisters of Charity and the Patrician Brothers, and it is these values that will continue to inspire our new learning community. We honour our Catholic faith and put into practice our school motto ‘Inspired by Christ’. In this period of exciting change, and to celebrate the coming together of three school communities into one, we will reflect on the words of Saint John Paul II:
“Remember the past with gratitude, to live the present with enthusiasm and to look forward to the future with confidence”. (2001)
