Assumption College is an iconic school whose storied history and traditions have paved the way for many young men and women to flourish and thrive whilst leaving their indelible mark on the pages of our story. We have an outstanding record in providing for the diverse needs of all young people in our care, ensuring that we are committed to their personal, social, and spiritual growth.
At Assumption College we continually strive to build a culture of excellence supporting our students to achieve success in all their endeavours. We seek to develop students who are confident, who have agency, and who are active and global citizens who want to make the world a better place. We place great importance on the dignity of difference, understanding that all of us have stories which are different to others, and which are no less rich than our own. As such, we invite all within our Assumption family to share their gifts and contribute positively to the story of others. Our students are confident, creative, and collaborative learners, who are welcomed into universities, training spaces and workplaces worldwide. Our alumni excel in fields as diverse as business, science, technology, philanthropy and fundraising, humanitarianism, healthcare, education, law, arts, religion, and sport.
As a college, we seek to grow our young people to be reflective individuals who embody the Marist characteristics by being present, by living a family spirit, who value simplicity and love their work and who do all this in the way of Mary. Ultimately, we encourage our students to share their story and their gifts with others so that Assumption College is always a place of welcome.
Principal
As College captains for 2024, it is with great pleasure that we welcome you to our Assumption College community. Amongst its long and storied history, we are honoured to have had the opportunity to not only learn, but actively participate in the life of our school.
As our time at Assumption nears its end, we take pride in not just the material we've learnt, but the values that have been instilled in us, and the opportunities we’ve been given.
Through inspiring work within our mission department, we have learnt to use our voices, to stand in solidarity with one another, and to look beyond the needs within our own lives. Through a variety of sporting and cultural groups, we have learnt the importance of spirit and inclusivity. Through an extensive range of learning pathways, we have been given the chance to become independent and passionate individuals, who are supported as we prepare to enter the workforce. Most importantly, we have learnt through many mistakes and obstacles, the importance of resilience; as at Assumption your outcomes do not define you, but rather your efforts.
From the beginning of our journey in year 7, our motto ‘Quae Supra Quaere’; to "Seek the things that are above”, has called us to challenge ourselves and our peers to our fullest potential. Our accomplishments during our time at Assumption are therefore not measured in grades, but through our efforts in an abundance of fulfilled opportunities, and life-changing experiences.
We invite you to join us on what promises to be an exciting journey at Assumption College.
