About our school

 

 

 

At Catholic College Wodonga, every student is supported to follow their own pathway.

We’re a co-educational school with around 1250 students from Year 7 to Year 12.

The school opened in 1979 when St Augustine’s Girls Secondary College expanded and moved to this location as Catholic College Wodonga. Today the school continues its affiliation with Mercy Education, and was recently recognised as one of Cambridge University’s 100 Most Innovative Schools.

We’re proud to be known as a school that’s welcoming to all. We provide a balance of spiritual, academic, cultural, physical, emotional and social learning within a respectful and positive environment.

Principal's Message

“At the heart of Catholic College Wodonga is a simple truth as we seek Life in Jesus: your journey matters. Each student who walks through our doors brings unique gifts, hopes, and possibilities. Our mission is to nurture those gifts with care, challenge, and encouragement so that every learner can discover their purpose and thrive in a changing world.

Grounded in our Catholic tradition and guided by the vision of encounter, service and growth, we commit to forming young people who are compassionate, curious, resilient, and ready to contribute to their community. Whether students aspire to university pathways, trades, creative pursuits, or service-based careers, we offer the support, structure, and rich learning experiences needed to help them succeed.

Catholic College Wodonga is more than a school, it is a place of belonging. A place where relationships are strong, learning is intentional, and students are known, valued, and inspired to become their best selves.

I invite you to discover what makes our college such a special place. We look forward to welcoming your family and walking alongside your child as they grow.”

Lorraine Willis – Principal
