Focus on collaborative learning

Students work collaboratively as equals and develop interactive, life-long learning skill while engaging intellectually and spiritually at Saint Ignatius College.
They are challenged to become resourceful, resilient, independent and to be “women and men for others”.
They have many opportunities to contribute to college life and the wider community, and to develop as teammates, collaborators, facilitators and leaders.
The college’s new Xavier Centre, a year seven and eight precinct, adds to the many outstanding learning spaces, accommodating recent growth in student numbers to over 1100.
An enriching, broad academic curriculum is delivered with the latest educational technologies, a laptop program for all students across the college, pastoral care and a variety of co-curricular activities.
Integral to a Jesuit Catholic education are opportunities to develop leadership, to contribute to local and overseas community service and social justice programs and to engage in immersion experiences in language and culture.
The college also has 73 teams competing in 22 sports.
The vibrant performing arts program enables students to experience music, dance and drama to develop individual talents and to perform in a variety of settings. A new year-seven instrumental music program enables students to experience playing instruments.
Always in pursuit of best practice in teaching and learning, the college continually reflects and evaluates all programs and embraces new initiatives, innovation and technologies.
All programs highlight the college’s commitment to develop the whole person and produce graduates who strive for excellence while demonstrating compassion, generosity and justice.
