About our school

Simonds Catholic College, uniquely situated in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, offers an exceptional educational experience as the only Catholic school for boys in the area. Our prime location allows students to take full advantage of the city’s rich cultural and sporting resources, enhancing their learning both inside and outside the classroom. We are committed to small class sizes, which enables personalised attention and supports every student in reaching their full potential.

Under the leadership of our principal, Robert Anastasio, Simonds is embracing a future-focused vision while honoring our proud traditions. Robert’s dedication to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment ensures that all students have the opportunity to grow into confident, capable individuals ready to make a difference.

Our strategic partnerships, such as with Science Gallery Melbourne, offer students hands-on experiences in STEM fields, preparing them for the evolving demands of the modern world. Our Reading Equals Power (REP) program has significantly transformed our approach to literacy, fostering intellectual growth and equipping students with essential skills for academic and personal success.
