Celebrating 126 years of educating and inspiring future generations of young learners, Padua College is the longest-standing secondary school on the Mornington Peninsula and the school of choice for one in four students.
Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1898, Padua College is a positive, creative, hope-filled learning community where Catholic values and spirit are shared and the sacred dignity of each person is nurtured. At Padua, we want every person to recognise and utilise their God-given talents, be the best they can be, and make a positive impact on the world.
The College is comprised of three junior campuses (Year 7-9) at Mornington, Tyabb and Rosebud, and a senior campus (Year 10-12) at Mornington. This multi-campus structure enables us to provide our students with individual care and support, specifically within their smaller ‘House’ community and enables all of our students to benefit from the extensive facilities and curriculum offerings of the larger College network.
