Siena College was established in 1940 as an independent, Catholic school for girls in Years 7 to 12. It is a place where the diversity and unique gifts of the students in our care are acknowledged and celebrated.

A Siena education is grounded in our four Dominican pillars: prayer and contemplation; study; community; and justice. St Catherine of Siena is the College patron and role model: a woman who responded to the needs of her time with courage and conviction. She was passionate, courageous, a revolutionary, a peacemaker, a champion of the poor and a Truth seeker. All students are encouraged to become involved in community activities and justice initiatives, walking in the footsteps of St Catherine.

Our learning program is designed to cater for the interests, needs and collaborative ways in which girls learn, guiding students to pursue their interests in any given field and to continue their learning journey beyond the classroom. Secure, respectful and confident relationships at school enhance our students’ learning so they can experience a comprehensive and enriching education.

We strive through all teaching and learning experiences to help our students learn the importance of their roles within our community and beyond the College gates.
