About our school

Genazzano FCJ College is an all-girls’ day and boarding College of students from Prep to Year 12, with a co-educational Early Learning Centre for 3 and 4 year old children. We confidently innovate and adapt to a changing world by allowing students to grow academically and personally, whether they be day, boarding or international students.

Nurtured in the Catholic faith and the principles of the Sisters, Faithful Companions of Jesus from 1889, Genazzano FCJ College is a school where young women learn to lead and inspire others, embrace life, and go confidently into the world. We engage with our local and global community with a positive and loving attitude, serving a higher purpose through our Catholic faith and social justice programs that take action to benefit society and people in need.

Genazzano is a vibrant, energetic community that seeks to positively influence all aspects of a student’s development. At Genazzano, learning and wellbeing go hand in hand. We share in a future-oriented and distinctive learning culture guided by reflection, wisdom, and service. We empower young women to transform the world with faithfulness, courage and confidence. We apply distinctive learning approaches based on cross disciplinary, student centred thinking and a commitment to excellence. Our transformational learning experiences focus on soft skill acquisition, not just content; and our high performance culture promotes independence, self-belief, and professional practice across the entire school.

Our Boarders are housed in neighbouring Camberwell at Hopetoun Hall, an excellent boarding facility for students in Year 7 and onwards. Hopetoun Hall is a place where our students can grow in independence and are surrounded by caring staff. By being off-site our boarding students truly leave the school campus to go to their Genazzano home at the end of the day.

The gifts and talents of individuals are recognised and developed with amazing facilities and grounds that support contemporary approaches to learning and teaching and a wide variety of performing arts, academic, and sporting co-curricular activities.

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.
