Mount Alvernia College at Kedron is the only Catholic secondary school (Years 7-12) for young women in the Franciscan Tradition in Brisbane, Queensland. Here, girls are provided with a well-rounded education through academic challenge; a variety of sporting and cultural endeavours; and meaningful social justice programs. They come to know themselves and their purpose in life by attaining the gospel values of courage, service, respect and joy. Mount Alvernia graduates distinguish themselves through their capacity to serve the community and use wise, ethical leadership.

At Mount Alvernia College, we offer a contemporary and forward- thinking pedagogical practice approach. We harness the unique capabilities of all students, guiding them into adulthood as leaders in their community. Our curriculum, whilst challenging, offers students a vast range of academic and vocational pathways – it’s not a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

We pride ourselves in fostering the growth of highly developed, emotionally resilient women of courage and distinction. With a core focus on producing audacious, aspiring and authentic young people, students are well-equipped critical thinkers, emulating a ‘we not me’ approach to life. We simply exist to empower young women to be hope-filled with a desire for learning and life – equipped to transform the world.
