St Aloysius College

St Aloysius College has been educating girls in the heart of the city of Adelaide since 1880. The images on this website capture the vibrant and creative environment in which our current students learn and grow into confident and capable young women.

Our academic programs offer a wide range of subjects to enable all students to pursue their passions. With an outstanding record of tertiary entrance, we are proud of the many inspiring role models, including our outstanding teaching staff, who encourage all students to strive for excellence in their chosen fields.

The College’s curriculum extension programs enable students to explore a range of activities outside the classroom. As a Mercy school, a commitment to justice underpins all that we do, and our Justice and Mercy group, along with the Mercy in Action Passport (MiAP), make an awareness of social issues and a sense of agency in addressing these part of every student’s education. A thriving sports program and an active Outdoor Education platform, including the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, make SAC an exciting and engaging school.

The international dimension of an education at St Aloysius College is central to our success. We welcome international students from many countries to complete their studies in Adelaide. We also offer exchanges and study tours to many countries, supported by an excellent languages program.

In the spirit of Mercy hospitality, we hope that once you have explored this website you will be inspired to visit St Aloysius College and experience for yourself the warm welcome that is so central to our culture.

Easter Eggs

2023
Continued generosity
The year 10 students from St Aloysius College continued their generous support of Catholic Charities agencies by organising their 2023 Easter Egg collection at school. The recipients were Centacase Catholic Family Services and Catherine House.  

Leanne Haddad Executive Director of Centacare Family Services expressed her thanks to the students, “On behalf of Centacare, I would like to thank you for the generous donation of Easter Eggs for the clients in our Young Family Support Program. This service is formed by four residential sites in the Adelaide Metropolitan area, Coolock House, Louise Place, Malvern Place and Findon Family Housing, where we provide a range of supports to young women who are pregnant or parenting.

I acknowledge the outstanding effort put in the coordination of this donation and appreciate your continuous support to our mission of giving our clients a sense of hope and stability.”

Catherine House and Catholic Charities also thanked the students for their continued generosity.

2022
Easter tradition of generosity  
A tradition begun by Catholic Charities and continued by St Aloysius College students saw hundreds of chocolate treats delivered in time for Easter to women and children experiencing domestic violence and homelessness. The students delivered the chocolate eggs and other sweets to Centacare via trolleys, washing baskets, boxes and bags. Anthea Francis, Manager of Coolock House received the Easter goodies. The donation will be distributed across Centacare's DV and Homelessness residential sites in Adelaide metropolitan area: Coolock House, Louise Place, Carlow Place, Hannah Place and Malvern Place.

Walk a Mile
Every year a group of students from SAC's Justice and Mercy (JAM) group participate in the Hutt St Centre’s Walk A Mile Campaign. Even during 2020, when the event itself was cancelled due to Covid-19, their dedicated students participated in their own version of the event. Supporting the Hutt St Centre through Walk a Mile is a longstanding tradition at St Aloysius College.
