About our school

Star of the Sea College offers a contemporary, values-based education that fosters the development of the whole person, instilling in students a strong sense of connectedness, a deep commitment to their faith, and a firm belief in their ability to achieve their potential.

Our motto, ‘Facta non Verba’ (Deeds not Words), encourages each young person to strive to be their best through purposeful action rather than mere intention – not just for themselves, but for the wider world.

Star is a school of opportunity. As a large College, we are able to teach a broad range of subjects designed to meet all interests and abilities. We are very proud of our high academic standards and our inclusive philosophy.

Our co-curricular program is equally vibrant and varied. Learning at Star is not confined to the time between bells. It is alive with activity well before lessons commence and late into the afternoon. We firmly believe that young people learn best in an environment where they are known, cared for and supported.

We take great pride in our excellent and comprehensive wellbeing program and offer counselling and learning support that addresses the diverse needs of our students.

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.
