About the Business
Welcome to Ave Maria College, located in the beautiful suburb of Aberfeldie, Victoria. Our institution is a point of interest for students seeking a positive and contemporary learning environment. With our state-of-the-art facilities, including our heritage building, award-winning Mary Centre, and newly opened Helene Province, we strive to enhance the experience of being a student at Ave Maria College.
At Ave Maria College, we are dedicated to providing young women with rich and authentic learning opportunities. We believe in nurturing their unique gifts and talents, while also helping them develop into well-rounded individuals ready to contribute to the community and the world.
Our goal is to create a sense of belonging for every student. We want each student to know that they are a valued member of our Ave family. Through acceptance of self and others, we believe that every person can contribute to making our College the best place to thrive and learn in.
Ashley Simonetto, a former student and now a successful designer and business owner, credits Ave Maria College for cultivating an environment that allowed her to comfortably grow her love for art and design. She also cherishes the friendships she formed during her time at the College, which are still greatly important to her today.
Inclusivity is a core value at Ave Maria College, and it is exemplified through our Peer Support Program. As a Year 11 Peer Support Leader, students like myself have the opportunity to assist Year 7 students in transitioning to high school by providing a comforting and warm welcome. We act as their "big sister" figure, offering guidance and support throughout their journey.
Academic achievement is highly valued at Ave Maria College, but it is underpinned by self-confidence and a deep relationship with God. We believe that through these principles and the pillars of faith, learning, community, and growth, our students leave the College thriving in both their personal and professional lives, empowered to shape their own future.
In addition to our exceptional learning environment, we also take pride in our commitment to faith-based innovative student-centered programs. These programs give our students a voice, establish high expectations, and deliver excellence in teaching.
What truly sets Ave Maria College apart is the warmth that you feel when you walk through our front gate. It is a place where students truly become themselves and grow into the best versions of themselves.
Our Learning and Teaching Program is fostered by our belief that God is the source of all good. We encourage our young women to develop their goodness and share their God-given gifts by living the Gospel values and striving for excellence in all their endeavors.
As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we reflect on the immense pride we have for all that has been achieved during this time and the wonderful young women that our students have become. To commemorate this milestone, the College has collaborated with Truth Agency to create a special logo that captures both our rich Franciscan heritage and the bright future of our community.
We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Wurundjeri people, and pay our respects to the Elders, both past and present. They hold the memories, traditions, culture, and hopes of Aboriginal Australia.
At Ave Maria College, the safety, wellbeing, and protection of all children in our care are of utmost importance. We are committed to providing a secure and nurturing environment for our students.
Stay connected with us and keep up to date with the endeavors of your classmates. It is a great way to learn about upcoming events and stay involved in the Ave Maria College community.

"when i tell you dont ever come here, teachers only care bout uniform, education is so bad, i aint learn anythin, teachers r so racist, there uniform ugly as hell, vaping goes crazy in here, i had such a hard times w the teachers they act like they run the whole world, so yh LEAVE DONT EVER COME HERE!"
"It took them months to solve a bullying problem in my sister's grade, honestly I'm fortunate enough to have not dealth with such, although the girl who bullied my sister's grade told me I was ugly due to me being related to a staff member (said relative is also disgusted by the school's negligence). The girls also scream and bang on the doors of the school toilets, and the teachers put a rule in place that does not solve the problem. Better than some schools I've gone too which have been completely negligent, but could do better :/"
"this school is horrible, I would never recommend unless you want your child wanting to kill themselves. all the teachers care about is your uniform and really don't care about your education. My daughter had a detention over the wrong color hair tie. they also said they would provide her with support but instead kept giving her a hard time about the rules. There is also a new toilet rule where you have to get your diary signed and write the date and time if you want to go and when you come back. They also check it at the end of the week to see how often you have been going to the toilet. DO NOT bring your child there"
"Good morning everyone, I was a Year 9 student here previously. Here is my experience and opinions about Ave Maria college My education here has not been the best. All the rumours you have heard, socks and uniform before education, bullying, staff disprecting students and vaping, it's really unfortunate because it's true. I have seen it all with my own eyes, if you wanted to express your opinions to any teachers then you would simply get in trouble for talking back. The toilets are very unsanitary and disgusting and smoke every where. Corrupt school system don't respect students at all and don't understand the stress the sudents are in, when it comes to bullying every staff looks the other way. Coordinators rather take students out of class, teachers distrupt lessons and given detention just because they wore below ankle socks, 1 logo on the sock, wearing wrong pants or shirts. The school motto? "Truth is our light", no that's wrong it isn't at all, they all lie even lied about the strict bullying system. The staff at AMC don't like critism very much, though they support a lot of stuff doesn't mean the inside look is good. If you are a parent reading this, please don't enrol your kid here, because trust me you will regret everything. I have been called many mean things, racist stuff and other stuff. Not to mention I had to keep up with work and the mean comments I was getting, It was stressful. I was on the verge on self harm and had suicidal thoughts every day after school, after moving schools and going to a therapist I have been able to find myself again and enjoy my new friends and teachers at my new school (I go to CRC now). And to mention, when I was getting in a physical contact with someone who was bullying me (I didn't approach him he pushed me), I tried to run but I couldn't so I pushed back and guess what? I'm suspended for 7 days and bully was suspended for a day, they told me to just run and tell a teacher but guess what? They didn't want me to explain what happened instead just suspended me. Incredible justice system AMC Do not come to this school."
"Highly Recommended, a very genuine, nuturing & caring school. The enrolement process has been very simple and the staff have been informative and very very helpful. Looking forward to sending my 2nd daughter to Ave Maria College to commence her secondary education in 2019."
