Education Week: Developing well-rounded people

Saint Ignatius College Geelong, located on the picturesque Bellarine Peninsula, is a co-educational Catholic College offering outstanding educational opportunities to young women and men in a positive and caring Christian community in the Ignatian (Jesuit) tradition of educating the whole person (mind, body and spirit).

Jesuit Education has a distinguished history spanning more than five centuries, and Saint Ignatius College Geelong proudly belongs to the network of 95 Jesuit schools in Australasia, and the celebrated Jesuit network of schools and universities worldwide.

A Jesuit Education has a clear purpose: the development of a well-rounded Christian person of competence, conscience and compassion who will be of service in the wider community and beyond.

The College community strives for the Magis (the more), to recognise God’s presence in all things, to pursue excellence, and to live with hope and respect for all creation.

Saint Ignatius College Geelong offers invaluable opportunities for young men and women, with an enriching broad academic curriculum, delivered using the latest educational technologies, a laptop program for all students across the College, an innovative Year 7 and 8 ‘Cura Personalis Program’ (care for the entire person) and a variety of engaging co-curricular activities, many of which reflect its coastal and rural environment.

In traditional Jesuit terminology, cura personalis aims to provide care and support for each student as a unique and gifted young person.

Academic challenge and rigour are fundamental to all curriculum development and student work practices.

Saint Ignatius College Geelong is amongst the top performing Catholic co-educational colleges in Victoria.

A Jesuit Companion School emphasising the pursuit of excellence, development of the whole person and service to others, all within a Christian framework.
