About our school

Genazzano FCJ College is a contemporary Catholic faith community in the tradition of the Sisters FCJ (Faithful Companions of Jesus).

We are a welcoming community that redefines individual academic success. We create a distinctive opportunity to prepare our girls in Prep to Year 12 and co-educational ELC students for a hope-filled global future.

Honouring the wisdom gained from over 135 years of educating girls, we confidently embrace all students’ talents, potential, and dignity – day, boarding, and international – to grow in excellence.

Throughout each student’s unique learning journey, we immerse them in a culture of inquiry that fosters compassion, courage, and confidence, developing critical thinkers who actively
respond and contribute to creating a more just and peaceful world.

We companion with others adopting a caring and loving attitude, serving a higher purpose through our Catholic faith and a commitment to social justice. We nurture the heart, mind, body, and spirit of our community.

Principal's Message

We provide holistic learning outcomes at Genazzano which ensure students are equipped with the important life skills they will need after graduation. We achieve this through staff and student collaboration, where together they explore the suitability of programs to enhance their relevance; and dashboards have been created to monitor student learning and progress. This distinct learning culture is future orientated and responds to the needs of 21st century learners, offering new pathways from ELC to Year 12. We have also redesigned our timetables to meet the changing needs of students and staff; and created integrated programs allowing for interdisciplinary studies.
