About our school

Star of the Sea College was founded by the Presentation Sisters, an Irish order of nuns, in 1883. Every student is encouraged to live out the College’s Christian values and to explore and deepen their personal spirituality and relationship with God in the spirit of Nano Nagle, the Presentation Sisters and Kildare Ministries.

Students are supported to try their very best, not just for themselves, but for the wider world. Armed with empathy, collaboration and critical thinking skills, we strive to prepare our students to achieve their potential, utilise a growth mindset and be change agents for a better world.

 

Principal's Message

At Star of the Sea College, we believe in a strong partnership between the school, parents, and our foundations to nurture the growth of each student. By working collaboratively with families, we ensure that students are supported in all aspects of their development.

Our school programs reflect this commitment, offering academic, co-curricular, and wellbeing initiatives that engage students, broaden their horizons, and foster a sense of community. From leadership and social justice initiatives to sustainability projects, these programs allow students to grow holistically, preparing them to thrive in an ever-changing world while staying connected to their core Presentation values.
