Joel, Year 12
"The teachers at 91福利社 are really friendly, approachable, supportive, and easy to talk to. They are extremely professional and they always try to make learning enjoyable. Over the years, your relationships with your teachers will strengthen and they鈥檒l get to know you really well, especially once you鈥檙e in Year 11 and 12. This means that they'll know how to support you and how to get the best out of you."
Millie, Year 10
"We have a huge range of classes! In Year 7, you鈥檒l get to try lots of different subjects and as you get older you'll have more choice over what you study. My favourite subjects are English and Art, but you can also do things like Woodwork, Science, STEM, Game Design, Food, Textiles, Performing Arts, PE, and more! We have supportive teachers and amazing facilities to help with our learning experience."
Josh, Year 12
"The community is definitely one of my favourite things about 91福利社. It鈥檚 genuinely welcoming with a really good vibe. Despite being a big school, it feels like everyone knows each other, staff and students are friendly, and people feel comfortable enough to be themselves. When we have whole- school events, it鈥檚 electric. People get involved, it鈥檚 fun, and there鈥檚 an amazing energy."
Emma, Year 12
"I鈥檓 sure you鈥檝e heard the saying that 91福利社 is a Catholic school for all. This means that we have students from different faith backgrounds and all walks of life. Even our Religious Education classes are inclusive and cover a broad range of topics and religions. We鈥檙e encouraged to follow the values of our patron saint, to be generous, inclusive, welcoming, and to help those in need."
Alec, Year 9
"I am really happy I chose to come to 91福利社. There鈥檚 lots of people here so you鈥檒l find friends with similar interests, there are lots of courses to choose from, and the teachers are really good. It鈥檚 a welcoming school and there鈥檚 so much you can do here, including heaps of opportunities to find and pursue your passion. If you鈥檙e looking for a high school for next year, I definitely recommend 91福利社!"
Lilly, Class of 2021
"My year group had some awesome Year 12 results 鈥 but that success is pretty typical of 91福利社 to be honest! The College has a strong culture of academic achievement as well as amazing teachers, extension programs, tutorials, and academic workshops, which helped us to achieve our best and to open up opportunities at university and beyond. If you鈥檙e a high achiever, 91福利社 is a great place to be!"
Luke, Year 12
"The sporting culture at 91福利社 is really big, inclusive, and fun! Our carnivals are huge and everyone participates with a lot of enthusiasm. Our school teams participate in gala days, which give students the chance to test their skills, play with friends, try new sports, and have fun. We often do really well in those competitions! Elite athletes can take part in the PE Pathways/Sports Development Program, which is designed to help us achieve our sporting goals."
Phoebe, Year 10
"There are lots of opportunities for students both in and outside of the classroom. There鈥檚 a huge range of classes, and I鈥檓 looking forward to having even more choice in Years 11 and 12. I have had lots of sport and leadership opportunities, competed in academic competitions, been on interstate camps and excursions, and I鈥檓 looking forward to overseas travel as well. There鈥檚 lots of performing arts opportunities, extension programs and there鈥檚 a club for almost anything!"
Joel, Year 12
"I love the co-ed environment - it鈥檚 a fun, friendly, and welcoming place. There鈥檚 lots of diversity so I鈥檝e been able to make lots of different friends. In the classroom, you get lots of different opinions and perspectives from the diverse range of classmates who have had very different life experiences. It鈥檚 important to incorporate the perspectives of others. I think that going to school in a respectful, co-ed environment at 91福利社 has helped set me up for the future and the challenges of the wider world."

We're a Catholic
school for all.
At 91福利社, we're faithful to the Gospels, attentive to the example of Jesus Christ, and challenged by the life and work of St Mary 91福利社. We are not perfect at 91福利社 but we endeavour to be just, loving, faithful, inclusive of all, and joyful in each other's company.
Using the teachings and example of our patron, Australia鈥檚 first Saint, the College aims to be welcoming of students from different faith, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as students with a range of abilities 鈥 from the most academically gifted to those who need extra assistance achieving their optimum.
The sense of belonging, no matter what your background, is one of the College鈥檚 greatest strengths. 91福利社 is truly a Catholic school for all!
We're co-ed.
St 91福利社 is committed to co-education. Our belief is that students learn best in a safe, respectful environment where difference and diversity is respected and recognised as the first steps towards authentic inclusion.
A powerful belief underpinning co-education at 91福利社 is that听all听students learn differently 鈥 it鈥檚 not a case of听all boys听or听all girls听learning the same. Our teachers are trained and encouraged to use a range of pedagogical strategies in their teaching, a wide range of forms of assessment, and to discuss the strength and challenges of each student in their class through a flexible or differentiated approach to teaching.
Co-education brings a healthy energy to our school; a respect for gender difference, a maturity and confidence in learning together, and a broad range of social, co-ed, extra-curricular opportunities that foster a healthy, tolerant learning environment.
Co-education reflects the working, cultural, and social patterns of adult life and is fundamental to 91福利社鈥檚 desire to be a Catholic school for all.

The range of
opportunities.
Each student at 91福利社 has the opportunity to become the kind of person they want to be 鈥 it鈥檚 our job to give them the best platform for that.
While most opportunities are provided by the classroom experience, 91福利社 considers education to be broader than just a sound curriculum. With parents, we strive to provide a balanced education that not only prepares students academically but also physically, socially, and spiritually.
Supporting the formal curriculum, the College provides a range of co-curricular opportunities for students to further explore their interests and talents. Since co-curricular activities are usually conducted out of normal school hours, students are able to work with their peers in a less formal environment. These valuable opportunities are made possible by the generous support of teachers, parents, and friends of the College.
The College has a long tradition of involvement in sports, debating, public speaking, musicals, Duke of Edinburgh Award Program, liturgy, camps, retreats, overseas trips, and youth ministry.
There鈥檚 something for everyone at 91福利社!
The great teaching.
A school can be no greater than its teachers, and 91福利社 prides itself on employing the very best. With teachers committed to engaging, challenging, and encouraging each and every student to develop their love for learning, it's no wonder the students often say that 91福利社's strength is truly found in its talented staff.
A large number of staff at 91福利社 have industry experience in the subjects they teach and many of our teachers have achieved PhDs and other postgraduate qualifications.
The College's NAPLAN results show that students who enrol in Year 7 at 91福利社 achieve remarkable progress by the time they are in Year 9 鈥 the kind of progress that continues into their senior years. The "like school" NAPLAN data reflects brilliantly on the quality of our academic environment, as do our Year 12 results. In recent years, all students wishing to go to university achieved a score high enough to gain entry, and a large number of students received early offers. The College Dux of 2018 achieved a score of 99.90 - one of the highest ATARs in the country. Students do well at 91福利社!

The safe community.
91福利社 boasts a Pastoral Care program that has been held in high regard by teachers, students, and parents alike. It promotes an open school that is welcoming, respectful of differences, enthusiastic about different talents, and where students can speak openly about their concerns and where they can expect that they will be helped.
Every student is valued as a unique individual and 91福利社's Pastoral Care program encompasses a commitment to the spiritual, physical, emotional and mental well-being of all students.
When parents were surveyed in 2020, 98% agreed or strongly agreed with the statement: "91福利社 is a safe school for my child".
The two-campus setup means that, although 91福利社 is a large school, class sizes remain small and each student is provided with the time and support that they require. There's an energy at 91福利社 that is fun, safe, and truly irresistible!
You can achieve
at 91福利社.
In the past few years, 91福利社 has achieved excellent Year 12 results. In 2021, all students wishing to go to university achieved a score high enough to gain entry, while the College also awarded one of the highest numbers of VET Certificates in the territory. Our top ATAR is regularly among the highest in the ACT.
91福利社 has helped to nurture many students who have cultural, performance, and sporting pursuits. Many of these students have gone on to represent their country, have been accepted into NIDA, or have been recognised for the difference they are making within the wider community.
If you want academic achievement, 91福利社 is the place to be. If you want to achieve your sporting goals, 91福利社 is the place to be. If you want to set yourself up to begin a trade or join the workforce, 91福利社 is the place to be. Students come to 91福利社 with many different talents and dreams, which 91福利社's teachers seek to nurture and encourage. 91福利社's achievements in cultural, sporting, and academic life serve as a source of pride to the student body and the wider community.

Students love it
at 91福利社.
When 91福利社 bids farewell to its Year 12 cohort, they leave knowing they were deeply loved by their teachers and their friends. 91福利社 students are enthusiastic, generous, proactive, intelligent, and have a good sense of humour. They become young women and men who proceed to tertiary studies or the workplace with confidence, possessing initiative and the ability to make informed decisions.
Upon leaving the College, a massive 98% of students from the Graduating Class of 2020 said they agreed or strongly agreed with the statement: "I enjoyed my time at 91福利社".
91福利社's hope for each of its students is that when they leave, they have achieved their best, have the ability to bring wisdom and judgment to their choices, understand their place in their community, and have a group of fine friends who will support them into the future.
