Inspired by the charism of the Presentation Sisters and the teachings of St Teresa of Ávila and Nano Nagle, we nurture a faith-filled learning community grounded in compassion, justice, courage and a deep respect for the dignity of every person.

Our Catholic faith and tradition is woven throughout College life, encouraging students to develop a strong sense of purpose, act with integrity and become compassionate, socially responsible young women.

At Avila College, student leadership is about empowering young women to find their voice, recognise their strengths and make a positive difference in their community.

We provide diverse opportunities for students to develop confidence, initiative, collaboration and a strong sense of social responsibility. Through formal leadership roles, student voice initiatives, mentoring and service to others, students are encouraged to lead with integrity, embrace new challenges and inspire those around them.
