Founded in 1904, Kilbreda College, a Catholic secondary college for girls located in Mentone, Melbourne, is a faith community that inspires a passion for learning, justice and stewardship, acting in a spirit of Strength and Kindliness. Together, staff and students form a collaborative, learning focused community that strives for continuous growth through best practice, perseverance and effort.
We are committed to improving the academic, social, emotional and spiritual learning of all students. All students at the College are encouraged to pursue academic excellence, express creativity and embrace opportunities. Diversity is celebrated and and everyone is supported as they develop into confident and articulate young women.
Cornish College educates for a sustainable future, engaging students beyond textbooks and encouraging them to consider how their decisions impact the world around them. It offers a holistic education that sees students engage deeply across disciplines, critically identifying and evaluating problems and finding creative solutions. Its unique learning environment and well-rounded education ensures students become the best people they can be, with a powerful curriculum and passionate teachers that develop critical thinking skills in students, empowering them to make a difference today for a sustainable tomorrow.
Cornish’s extensive 100-acre setting provides students with space to stretch their legs and their curiosity throughout an EcoCentre, hobby farm, olive grove, orchard, vegetable gardens, nine-hole golf course and its own island. Other facilities include the well-resourced library, ICT and performing arts facilities, a gymnasium, science laboratories, sporting facilities and a new Senior Studies Centre — a powerful learning environment.
The College favours a holistic approach which values student health and wellbeing as much as academics. Students explore diverse interests alongside their academics, with cocurricular opportunities spanning the arts, STEM and sport, and community programs to develop positive relationships and mental health. These enrich the curriculum, encouraging students to draw upon values of compassion, integrity, respect and creativity — always with courage – to make a difference.
Cornish educates for a sustainable, thriving future, with structures that mobilise the attitudes, skills, knowledge and values required for young people to make a difference and become the best individuals they have the capacity to be.
