Mount St Benedict College was founded by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan in the Order of St Benedict in 1966 and celebrates fifty eight years of educating young women. The College belongs to the community of ten schools across Australia called Good Samaritan Education (GSE). Established in 2011 by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, the mission of Good Samaritan Education is to sustain and nurture our Catholic schools as Good Samaritan Benedictine communities of learning.
The core values of the College are Pax, Hospitality and Stewardship, and the promotion of holistic education in the spirit of Benedictine and Good Samaritan tradition.
The College’s Learning Experience and Wellbeing and Learning Model address the faith and spirituality needs of students, their wellbeing priorities and their learning needs for the future.
Learning experiences at Mount St Benedict College are developed in response to the diverse needs of our students, leading to a wide range of opportunities which meet the needs of individual students.
‘Bennies’ girls are able to develop their talents and become articulate, confident and compassionate young women, equipped to transform our world.
An extraordinary school requires an extraordinary vision, one that not only pursues academic excellence, but embraces all that makes people fully alive to themselves, to each other, and to God. Such is the vision of Mount St Benedict College – a truly extraordinary school.
As you read on, you will see that vision in action across our range of mission programs, academic programs, and caring for our students through our wellbeing and enrichment programs.
There are many things that make Mount St Benedict College a very special place. Of paramount importance to us is that we are a true community of learners, committed to achieving our best in all our endeavours.
That has been our commitment since Mount St Benedict College was founded in 1966 by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, and we continue to pride ourselves on our dedication to learning in all our activities.
