From The Principal

Anne McDonald, Principal

Welcome to Nazareth College, a Catholic Secondary College located in Noble Park North, Victoria.

Nazareth College was founded in 1986, with the aim to provide high-quality Catholic education for students from the surrounding Catholic parishes of St Elizabeths, St Justins, St Simons, and St Gerards.

During the following years, Nazareth College earned a strong reputation for offering students a well-rounded education, and has continually endeavoured to provide state-of-the-art learning facilities and technologies.

At Nazareth College our key philosophy and practice is reflective of the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Hence, the College gives students an education with a specific Catholic focus, maximising each individual's learning potential, and embracing Catholic values while receiving a strong academic education.

Multiculturalism is embraced and celebrated at Nazareth College. Students from a broad range of cultural backgrounds come together to share and celebrate their diverse and varied heritage, creating a sense of pride and affirmation for each student's cultural identity. This sense of acceptance and pride in multiculturalism instils in our students a deep respect for the varied cultures in the wider community, and the ability to recognise the unique and valuable dynamics of a multicultural society.

The staff at Nazareth College are highly qualified and regularly participate in professional development programs, to ensure that the resources and knowledge they impart are reflective of current educational directives. Nazareth College also engages in many educational research and development programs on both a national and international scale. The benefits of these ongoing networks are valuable and extensive, as they provide insight and opportunities to share information and techniques for effective delivery of high-quality education.

Our varied curriculum provides the students many avenues for learning, and our extensive technology ensures a learning environment capable of providing students the knowledge and skills to meet a modern world.

The College strives to provide the most comprehensive and effective learning options for each individual student to achieve their personal best, both academically and spiritually, and maximises each student's potential to achieve optimal learning outcomes.

We at the College are proud to provide a happy and satisfying secondary education: one that opens many doors to a world beyond school.
