Thank you for enquiring about Santa Maria College.

Santa Maria College, an independent Catholic Secondary School for girls, was established by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan in Northcote in 1904. The school currently has in excess of 960 students.

The values of the Good Samaritan Order give direction to our Santa community. We nurture well-informed, articulate and independent young women who are energised by the Word of God and respond to the challenge of the real world with spirit and compassion.

Santa Maria College encourages students to strengthen their talents to become who they want to be in a safe and happy environment. Our girls understand the importance of balancing the pursuit of academic excellence with emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing. They have a love of learning, which is nurtured in first-class facilities, by dedicated staff. We have a varied curriculum and co-curriculum. Our girls experience success academically and in life. A Santa girl knows she can reach for the sky in anything she chooses to do.
