It is with great pleasure and pride in Catholic Ladies' College and our students that I welcome all who visit our website; whether you are a member of the College Community or a new visitor, you are most welcome.
Catholic Ladies’ College is situated in Eltham on the rural/urban fringe of Melbourne, approximately 25 km north of the CBD. The College began its story in East Melbourne in 1902 and relocated to its current site on the banks of the Diamond Creek in 1971.
At Catholic Ladies' College we strive to provide a learning environment which celebrates the diversity and giftedness of all within our community. It is a learning journey which acknowledges parents as primary educators and our privileged role in partnership with them throughout their daughter’s secondary education.
The faith and mission of the College provide the framework for our student wellbeing and learning and teaching programs. These programs enable us to foster a passion for lifelong learning for the holistic development of each student. The young women of this College are challenged to think as global citizens, consider the needs of those beyond their local community and to recognize the responsibilities their education provides as they take their places in work, social and family networks of the 21st century. Our girls flourish in their time with us and beyond.
Choosing the right school is an important family decision. While this virtual view of Catholic Ladies' College captures much of the atmosphere and ethos of the College and will certainly give you valuable information about the breadth and diversity of our College Programs and Co-Curricular opportunities, I also invite and encourage you to come along to one of our regular tours to experience the College for yourself. For those interested in touring the College, or exploring whether student vacancies exist, may I encourage you to contact our College Registrar.
Thank you for your interest in Catholic Ladies' College. I look forward to meeting you in the future.
Margaret McKenna
Principal
