About our school

At Siena College, we believe in nurturing potential and fostering a spirit of limitless curiosity. Encouraged to embrace every opportunity, our students are empowered to explore, learn and grow, enabling them to evolve into the best versions of themselves, equipped with knowledge, compassion and the confidence to make a difference in the world.

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.

Siena College students are surrounded by strong role models, in their peers, staff and alumnae, who encourage them to strive to achieve successful outcomes from their own efforts.

Secure, respectful and confident relationships at school enhance our students’ learning so they can experience a comprehensive and enriching education. Our Wellbeing Team provides support and education for both students and parents.

All students at Siena College are encouraged to become involved in community activities and initiatives. 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.

Principal's Message

We encourage our students to engage in critical reflection on the world, develop a love of learning, an appreciation of culture and beauty and a spirit of freedom and responsibility.

St Catherine of Siena is the College patron and a role model of a woman who responded to the needs of her time with courage and conviction. She was both passionate and courageous, a revolutionary, a peacemaker, a champion of the poor and a prophetic teacher and Truth seeker. A Siena education has always been based on a deep respect for the unique qualities and gifts of each member of the community with an emphasis on service and on personal excellence in all endeavours.

Since it first opened in 1940, Siena College has demonstrated the capacity to meet evolving educational expectations of Church, students and parents. We look forward to educating and inspiring future generations of young women who will pass through our care.
