Simonds Catholic College – VIC – It’s All About The Balance
At Simonds Catholic College balance is more than a theme — it’s how we prepare boys for life in a rapidly evolving world. As Melbourne’s only Catholic secondary boys’ school in the CBD, our students benefit from unparalleled access to the city’s vibrant educational, cultural, and sporting assets.
In 2026, we embrace a dual commitment: to honour time-tested teaching practices and champion meaningful, intentional use of technology. At Simonds, human connection remains at the heart of learning. Our teachers are
specialists in boys’ education, creating purposeful, engaging learning experiences that stretch students academically while supporting their social and emotional wellbeing.
Small class sizes ensure each student is known, supported, and inspired. Whether it’s through our Reading Equals Power (REP) literacy program or hands-on science experiments in our cuttingedge labs, every boy is empowered to grow with confidence.
Our newly opened STEM and VCE Centre exemplifies this balance. Spanning three levels, the facility includes chemistry, biology, and physics laboratories, a dedicated STEM innovation space, collaborative breakout areas,
and an expansive deck with city skyline views. This space supports dynamic learning and strengthens our existing partnership with Science Melbourne, offering real-world, future-focused education.
