Tour Our School
We normally conduct walking tours of our schools with prospective students and their families. However, these are not normal times. Until we resume our tours, please enjoy this virtual tour.
About us
At Catholic College Wodonga, every student is supported to follow their own pathway.
We’re a co-educational school with around 1250 students from Year 7 to Year 12.
The school opened in 1979 when St Augustine’s Girls Secondary College expanded and moved to this location as Catholic College Wodonga. Today the school continues its affiliation with Mercy Education, and was recently recognised as one of Cambridge University’s 100 Most Innovative Schools.
We’re proud to be known as a school that’s welcoming to all. We provide a balance of spiritual, academic, cultural, physical, emotional and social learning within a respectful and positive environment.
FROM THE PRINCIPAL
It is my honour to introduce you to Catholic College Wodonga
My staff and I are passionate about finding the next education horizon, so that every student can thrive. – Darren (Darta) Hovey.
Learning Communities
It’s through Learning Communities that we ensure every child enjoys the close connections of a small school within a big environment.
Our students are proud of their communities. We encourage this camaraderie by team building activities such as community days and special events, raising money for charity, and sitting together at assembly and Mass.
The result is an energised school with a sense of ownership and belonging. We place our student population into six communities from Year 7 to Year 12. There are seven or eight Learning Mentor groups within each community; we aim for 26 students per group.
Two Learning Mentors support each group. Learning Mentors operate as a team but work closely with up to 14 students allocated to their care. A Learning Community Leader coordinates each Community

Engaging learning spaces.
We’re constantly upgrading and improving our school’s facilities, from traditional classrooms to collaborative areas and quiet study zones.
Our leadership team.
We’re proud to foster a positive culture for staff and students, which is driven by the support and strategic management of our leadership team.
OUR VISION. OUR MISSION. OUR CATHOLIC IDENTITY.
Catholic Identity is the heart of the school.
This is more than the teaching of religious education. It is how we, as a community, express and live our Catholic faith. We do this not only through masses but by engaging in our local area and on a global scale through the Mercy values of hospitality, compassion and justice.

OUR FUTURE
The world is changing, and so are we. Our campus continues to evolve to serve the education needs of the next generation, which includes a masterplan.
Sustainability
We’re committed to changing how we use energy and other resources.
Our Sustainability Team comprises students and staff who are passionate about reducing our waste, energy and water use, as well as conserving biodiversity. Thinking global and acting local, this volunteer group has inspired our community to make significant changes.
We now have four waste streams to minimise our contribution to landfill, compost our food waste on-site and use only reusable cups and water bottles at school events.
