About our school

When you set foot on our campus you immediately feel a sense of welcoming and belonging. The Ave Community is safe, open and supportive, and we pride ourselves on knowing, nurturing and developing every student. There is a real sense of community and genuine student voice that drives key initiatives and programs. Our slightly smaller cohort sizes and compact campus mean that we get to know our students, not just in the classroom, but through the myriad of co-curricular and leadership activities available. Our Learning and Teaching program at all levels is underpinned by the College Charter for Education. Developed in 2020, the Charter for Education consists of Franciscan beliefs, learner attributes and wellbeing skills, bound by a learning environment which interconnects each element to maximise the growth of each individual student.

Working closely with families and students to address specific interests, needs and capabilities, we have developed bespoke learning programs to maximise student engagement and ensure every child has a pathway that will set them up for success upon graduation including Victorian Certificate of Education (scored, unscored, accelerated), VCE Vocational Major (previously VCAL), VCE VET, VCE School Based Apprenticeship, and our Tertiary Preparation Program offered in partnership with RMIT.

Principal's Message

At Ave Maria College, we provide a welcoming and nurturing environment for young women, guided by the Franciscan values of Truth, Love, Peace and Compassion. We are committed to building a safe, open, and supportive community where our students feel a strong sense of belonging and connectedness.

As a high performing Catholic secondary school, we challenge our students to strive for excellence from Year 7, ensuring they are prepared for their senior studies and future pathways.

Above all, we seek to empower our students and provide them with a foundation of belonging to foster the curiosity to explore, courage to excel, confidence to thrive, compassion to love and community to grow.
