At St James College, we are dedicated to providing a truly global education that equips our students to navigate and excel in a rapidly evolving world. Our mantra, Global Learning, Achieving Aspirations, reflects our commitment to nurturing future-ready individuals who are not only equipped with academic knowledge but also a deep understanding of the global and multicultural environment in which they live.

As a college that embraces diversity, we celebrate the multicultural fabric of our community, which includes international students, our Indigenous youth, and refugees. This diverse environment provides unique learning experiences where students develop academically and holistically, gaining the skills necessary to thrive in a global society. Our commitment to innovation and sustainability is reflected in the broad range of subject choices on offer, allowing students to explore, nurture, and expand their skills across various disciplines.

St James College’s approach to education, particularly through our award-winning VET pathways, is both inclusive and transformative. By blending academic rigour with vocational education, we empower students to pursue their aspirations, whether that’s university, trades, or other career paths. This non-binary approach to education provides all students with opportunities for success, regardless of background, while equipping them with valuable transferable skills that are essential in any workplace.

As a part of the Edmund Rice Global Network of schools, we believe in the power of liberating education, which prepares our students to be future leaders grounded in faith, community, and a global perspective.
