St Columba's College

Canberra Private Schools introduces St Columba's College in Essendon, for all your education and learning needs.

A Catholic secondary school. St Columba's aims to educate young women to be compassionate and confident, and who are well equipped to face the challenges of the 21st Century.

St Columba’s is a school that respects the dignity of each student and nurtures her wellbeing. The aim is for St Columba’s students to emerge as independent, resilient, purposeful young women. We work closely with feeder primary schools and our Year 7 students and their families prior to joining the school community to ensure there is a smooth transition to secondary school. After commencement, activities then focus on the development of a sense of connectedness to St Columba's.

Any St Columba’s girl will tell you that there’s not only a lot to learn but that there’s a lot to do at school. Our contemporary curriculum and diverse co-curricular program encourage participation, foster wellbeing and create a real sense of community.
