A very warm welcome to St Columba’s College – a community where all our young people are known, valued and treasured. Our College prides itself on the value of its community, and an education where heart speaks to heart. To be a Columban is to be distinctive: academically ambitious and successful yet individually nurtured by an education that is highly holistic and underpinned by our religious values.

If no two students are the same, then neither are their successes.  Education at St Columba’s College is not about fitting our young people into a mould – but rather about creating a new shape around each one of them and then celebrating what they become…in our case, Columbans.  And what does this mean?  It means that we recognise that they each succeed uniquely; that we demand excellence from them but exclusively in relation to their personal journeys; that they are deeply known by this community so we value and treasure the people they become: successful, resilient and kind – the result of true holistic education.

Young people from 4 years old are welcomed and developed through personal attention and a conviction that education is far more than teaching students how to make a living – more about creating a life. I am immensely proud of our whole community and warmly invite you to visit us, so that you can experience for yourself the first-rate education and deep collegiality of St Columba’s College.
