Aranmore Catholic College is a co-educational secondary College with students enrolled from Year 7 to Year 12 with 630 students from some fifty different nationalities. The College has an Intensive English Centre on campus, catering for the language needs of new arrivals to Australia, from both refugee and migrant backgrounds. The College continues the tradition of Catholic education commenced by the Sisters of Mercy, with a girls' school in 1903. In 1942 the Christian Brothers joined them by opening a boys' school on the adjacent site. In 1986 the two Colleges amalgamated to form Aranmore Catholic College. The College offers a broad range of programs that support the spiritual, intellectual, physical, social and emotional development of all students. University entrance and Vocational pathways are offered in Years 11 and 12 with a focus on all students achieving secondary graduation. Two specialist sporting programs are offered at the College, namely Netball and Rugby. In addition, strong programs in Music and Art are introduced to all students on entering high school at Year 7. In line with the College motto: Trust, students are encouraged to build relationships with staff and fellow students to enable them to have a safe and happy learning experience at the College.
