Cerdon College

Canberra Private Schools introduces Cerdon College in Merrylands, for all your education and learning needs.

Cerdon College is a Catholic secondary girls’ school that was established in 1960 by the Marist Sisters. The College has a strong commitment to the provision of a contemporary education underpinned by Marist values, social justice, pastoral care and commitment to community. We are dedicated to providing each student with a learning environment which is comprehensive, inclusive and challenging.

In doing so, we offer an extensive co-curricular program that encourages students to fully engage in their learning as they seek to achieve their personal best. Cerdon College maintains a values- laden learning environment by creating friendly, yet well-ordered, learning spaces.

High academic standards are sought and valued at Cerdon College; each member of staff is challenged to maintain high professional standards, and each student is encouraged to develop their talents to the full. We aspire to develop confident, resilient and articulate young women who embrace their faith and are committed to life-long learning.

We aim to lead our students to an awareness of what it means to be a Christian in the tradition of the Catholic Community. The religious teaching and liturgical life of the school underpin the structure and application of the school curriculum.
