History:
Nazareth College is a Catholic, coeducational regional secondary college, established in 1986 by partnership of the four parishes of St Elizabeth’s, Noble Park North, St Gerard’s, North Dandenong, St Justin’s, Wheelers Hill and St Simon’s, Rowville.
Description:
Nazareth College offers a comprehensive program of studies and activities that is rigorous and challenging, and provides the opportunity for all students to fully develop their skills and talents.
We aim to prepare students who will graduate from Nazareth College as young men and women of faith – faith in themselves and faith in God. The College’s relationship with its founding parishes – St Simon’s, St Justin’s, St Elizabeth’s and St Gerard’s and associated parish schools, is at the heart of the spirit of Nazareth College.
Throughout the middle years - Years 7–9 - where cooperative learning is fostered, students participate in an outdoor education program, and develop independent skills in the City Experience initiative.
An individual pathways approach to education is integral to the senior school - Years 10–12 - where students can undertake studies in the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs.
