"I grew in a multitude of ways in high school. From volunteering and participating in extracurricular activities, I was taught that learning extends beyond textbooks and classrooms."

Our Namesake, Caroline Chisholm

Caroline Chisholm was a model for living a lay Christian life. She advocated for and strove to improve the lives of the marginalised people of her time, especially showing God’s love for new emigrants, women and families.

Her unique combination of gifts is encapsulated in the values of faith, courage, tolerance, dignity, compassion and justice. She lived these six values through service, so our scriptural mandate is lived here at the College through service.

Caroline Chisholm was an ordinary woman who led an extraordinary life. The Caroline Chisholm charism is the lens through which these values are enlivened in our relationships, in our teaching, in our welcome of all and through Caroline’s Footsteps, our social justice program.

Our History

Caroline Chisholm College began in 1974 with twenty students being taught in the old church hall.

In 1976 the school moved to its current site in Glenmore Park, where the teaching initially took place in army huts. Throughout the 1980s a comprehensive building program was undertaken, providing permanent buildings for 600 students.

The 1990s was a time of rapid growth in the student population as the Glenmore Park area saw an increase in development. In 1997, the school was restructured to become a 7-12 college. The first HSC class graduated in the year 2000 with much success.

The college has continued to transform over the last twenty years, adding specialist facilities to support the broad curriculum offered.

 

The College emblem was designed to capture symbolically the key elements of our community. It represents the religious life, educational culture and the geographical environment of the College - at the base of the Blue Mountains and beside the Nepean River.

The College has celebrated outstanding results in NAPLAN and HSC results over many years, through a long tradition of understanding girls as learners and how to engage and enhance their potential.
