St Eugene College began in 2008 with around 540 students. 2012 will be the first year with the full complement of grades from P-12. St Eugene's is a warm welcoming community. As a Catholic school, we endeavour to be a Christian community, where nurturing faith is integrated within full human growth and development and founded on the Oblate charism. We are involved in awakening, nourishing and developing faith in our children. We value the collaborative partnerships with families in building and sustaining a quality learning community. Shared beliefs and a common vision guide us in embracing change and making a difference in the global community. Our motto 'Dare to Grow in Faith, Hope and Love' is epitomised by the broad educational culture of the College where academic, social, technological, sporting, cultural and religious excellence flourish. The school plays an important role in the community through its close links with the Parish and its commitment to and involvement in social justice initiatives. Middle school students work with community groups and volunteer organisations on special activity days, older students regularly support the Rosie’s ‘Friends on the Street’ program and younger students provide special parcels to those in need. St Eugene College offers an extensive academic curriculum catering for both Overall Position and Vocational Education pathways. As a P-12 school, we have the opportunity to extensively prepare and guide students in their junior and middle years towards selecting an appropriate senior pathway for their future. Students from Prep to Year 12 have the opportunity to build relationships with and learn from one another. Special curriculum days, buddies programs and a Year 11 support-a-reader program see students from different phases of the school working and learning together. Staff too, work across year levels to share their knowledge and the use of college facilities with all students. The College is developing a reputation in the community for excellence in the Arts. A..
