Our unique offering sees students enjoy a single-sex education in their formative years at separate all-girls and all-boys campuses in Years 7 to 9, before moving to our senior co-ed campus in Years 10 to 12.
We provide a wide variety of opportunities across the academic curriculum, including VCE, VET and VCAL programs, as well as a comprehensive co-curricular program, spanning sport, music, visual and performing arts, drama, technology, languages and a Faith In Action program.
Each student is known and valued in the College’s inclusive multicultural community, comprising more than 82 nationalities.
The College enjoys modern facilities which include a 6-lane indoor swimming pool, 820-seat auditorium, two libraries, a trade training centre, a wholly-owned outdoor education facility, modern science labs, fully equipped music rooms, cafeterias, expansive sports grounds including basketball courts, a state-of-the-art gym, and a dedicated arts centre.

Our mission is to educate and prepare students to be the best they are called to be alongside our values of Faith, Acceptance, Compassion and Excellence (FACE). The College motto Many Minds, One Heart embraces the DNA of our community. |

Education opens many pathways. The College provides a broad and holistic curriculum that aims to engage and challenge our students and demand excellence of them whilst developing their mind, body and spirit. We hope the broad educational perspectives provided at Caroline Chisholm Catholic College will encourage students to discover and pursue individual interests and pathways. We will equip students with critical thinking and communication skills required of them to become productive members of an ever-changing community.
The College offers a range of core and elective subjects at junior levels which provides students with experiences in a variety of subjects. This ensures they have the skills and knowledge required to choose their individual pathways in their senior years. |

Students are encouraged to be the best they are called to be both inside and outside the classroom, through opportunities including international exchange, musicals, debating, sports, volunteering, book, chess and science clubs, student leadership positions and more.
In addition to core subjects, the College offers sports, music, visual and performing arts, languages other than English, technologies and other hands-on co-curriculum options. |

The wellbeing of our students is central to their experience at Caroline Chisholm Catholic College. All our programs are well resourced and represent a high priority to promote the personal, psychological and emotional growth of our students.
Learner Mentors, Year Level Coordinators, House Coordinators, Directors of Campus and Deputy Principals oversee the wellbeing of our students and are involved in every stage of a student’s life at the College. They offer a valuable point of contact for parents who wish to discuss their child’s progress, and our staff support students with their individual needs while maintaining the standards and expectations of the College. |

|
Our weeks are enriched by moments of prayer integrated both inside and out of the classroom. An intentional, structured and nurturing environment is essential to teach and to experience the love of God, love of neighbour and love of learning. With love at the core, we strive to instil self-discipline and to ensure respect is a priority in all relationships.
Our social justice programs invite students to support the vulnerable and marginalised in our community as well as growing their understanding of injustices in our social structures. |
