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. Since 2014, Star has been a member of 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, use a growth mindset and be change agents for a better world.

Coupled with a desire that all students should achieve their individual potential, Star encourages students to strive for excellence. Our VCE results over the past decade have been formally recognised through The Age’s Schools that Excel 2020 Southern Melbourne (non-government) Award and the Herald Sun’s Better Education VCE Catholic School ranking of 6th in Victoria. The College offers a pathway for all students, with the Vocation Major course offered as part of the VCE pathway, VET courses available and a wide range of VCE studies on offer. The Year 9 and 10 curriculum is innovative, diverse and relevant for contemporary learning and includes many opportunities for students to live out the College motto,

‘Deeds not Words’. Year 9 students are based at a separate but nearby campus situated in the Kamesburgh Gardens, North Road. Students are encouraged to view the world through the SPIRE framework of positive education, which focuses on spiritual, physical, intellectual, relational and emotional traits. The link between wellbeing and learning is well acknowledged, and Mentor teachers support student learning through the wellbeing program.
