Siena College was established in 1940 as a medium sized, independent, Catholic school for girls from Years 7 to 12. The Dominican Sisters who founded the College, built a school where young women could follow their academic and cultural interests, believe in their potential and become passionate lifelong learners. It is a place where the diversity and unique gifts of the young women in our care are acknowledged and celebrated. The College motto, Veritas, challenges our community to search for Truth through prayer and contemplation, a commitment to study and a strong sense of justice and outreach to others. We encourage our students to engage in critical reflection on the world, developing a love of learning, an appreciation of culture and beauty and a spirit of freedom and responsibility. St Catherine of Siena is the College patron and a role model of a woman who responded to the needs of her time with courage and conviction. Throughout our history, Siena College has demonstrated the capacity to meet evolving educational expectations of Church, students and parents. Emphasis is placed on personal excellence in all endeavours and we aim to equip our students to participate fully in a globalised world, to nurture their gifts and to build their self esteem and sense of connectedness. http://www.siena.vic.edu.au http://www.siena.vic.edu.au/enrolment/enrolment-procedures http://www.siena.vic.edu.au/college-community/alumnae +61 3 9835 0200 reception@siena.vic.edu.au
