Siena College was established in 1940 as an independent, Catholic school for girls in Years 7 to 12. The Dominican Sisters who founded the College built a school where students could be inspired by the human person of Jesus Christ, follow their own interests, believe in their potential and become passionate lifelong learners.

Siena College is a place where the diversity and unique gifts of the young people in our care are acknowledged and celebrated and where we aim to empower all to go out and make a difference in the world.

The College motto, Veritas, connects us to our 800-year Dominican Tradition. Our Truth searching is grounded in prayer and contemplation, a commitment to study, the relationships and strong sense of community that have long been a part of Siena’s heritage, and a commitment to justice.

We encourage our students to engage in critical reflection on the world, develop a love of learning, an appreciation of culture and beauty, and a spirit of freedom and responsibility.

Siena College continues to meet the evolving educational expectations of Church, students and parents. We look forward to educating and inspiring future generations of young people who will pass through our care.
