The Teaching and Learning program at St Clare’s is designed to challenge and reward every student. With small class sizes, each student benefits from personalised teaching in a caring and nurturing environment. Students are given the opportunity to become confident, lifelong learners.

Some of the key features of the St Clare’s curriculum are:

St Clare’s College fosters academic excellence. Not only do our students consistently achieve excellent results in the Higher School Certificate but analysis of our students’ performances indicates that our students improve significantly over their time at the school. We are extremely proud that the majority of our graduating students undertake tertiary studies.
