St Paul’s College

St Paul’s College is an educational institution raising young men in the Catholic Marist Tradition. We inculcate a strong faith foundation upon which we build character and achievement for each of our students from Years 7 to 13.

We look to instill each student with strong values of respect and responsibility in the true vision of St Marcellin Champagnat. This is achieved in an engaging environment with the dedication and expertise of exceptional staff who can provide the necessary support for our students to develop independence in learning and capabilities for their success at the college and beyond.

Academic, sporting, musical and cultural prowess is encouraged and this is underpinned with a strong pastoral support system that ensures that each of our students feels a sense of belonging, pride and a desire to succeed in all aspects of school life. This is enhanced by ensuring that our students are innovative, develop a growth mindset and can incorporate blended learning in a way that builds on their confidence and development throughout their time here.

This is achieved with the support of parents and the wider St Paul’s community as they are part of the growth and development of each of our students.

The college motto Confortare Esto Vir – Take courage, be a man – has the drive to build young men with a holistic outlook, filled with strong Catholic values and steadfastness as they prepare to be contributing citizens of tomorrow.

“The St Paul’s graduate will be qualified, inquisitive and innovative. He will have a strong Christian moral compass based on the College Catholic and Marist tradition.”

St Paul’s will have an environment of academic excellence underpinned by sound pastoral care programmes. St Paul’s recognises the emphasis on personalised learning and differentiated pathways to achieve individual goals.

The Mission Statement makes it clear that the College’s purpose is the development of the whole person in all aspects of academic and pastoral care within a strong Catholic, Marist framework.

All students are empowered to learn and achieve to their own levels of personal excellence. The Mission Statement places the onus on the College to ensure an environment of innovation, enquiry, participation, professional standards and facilities management that encourages students and families to embrace St Paul’s College.

Catholic Marist culture and ethos are at the heart of all growth and development from which the school draws its life, vision and mission. St Paul’s will maintain a safe, orderly environment in which learning is the major focus.
