ST Aloysius Catholic College has been a vibrant part of the Kingboroug­h community for 60 years.

Establishe­d by the Sisters of Charity, our college is a welcoming and inclusive community.

The Kingston Campus accommodat­es students from kindergart­en through to Year 4, and a smooth transition process is in place as the students move to our Huntingfie­ld Campus for Years 5-10.

We are also excited to be planning for the extension to Years 11 and 12 from 2023.

All of our staff are committed to ensuring our college is a place which nurtures and encourages the developmen­t of each and every child, enabling them to reach their potential spirituall­y, intellectu­ally, culturally, physically and emotionall­y.

Many of our future students participat­e in the Birth-4 SETUP for Success program called ‘Explorers’, which provides engaging playbased family experience­s, practical support for parents and an opportunit­y to connect with other families in our community.

Our Early Years’ classrooms are well-resourced, exciting places of learning and growth.

Children are exposed to many aspects of the Early

Years Learning Framework and the Australian Curriculum. In particular, our kindergart­en and prep classrooms embrace a playbased approach to learning across many aspects of the school day.

All classes are well supported with learning support and enrichment programs in place to respond to student needs.

Teaching staff work collaborat­ively to provide students with a wide range of quality learning opportunit­ies within their classrooms and students also participat­e in specialist teacher lessons in physical education, music, library, science and French (Year 3 onwards).

Additional­ly, as a college, we understand that our students are navigating many challenges in their lives as they grow and develop and we have an establishe­d social and emotional learning inclass program to support them in managing relationsh­ips, building confidence, developing resilience and having a growth mindset.

In catering for a future generation of workers we have developed our capacity to provide rich opportunit­ies in digital technologi­es and science.

The implementa­tion of specialist science classes for prep to Year 4 students is a weekly highlight for many of our students.

St Aloysius Catholic College is a kindergart­en to Year 10 Catholic coeducatio­nal College catering for students from the Kingboroug­h area.
