​Dear Prospective Families and Students,

Welcome to Notre Dame College, the newest Brisbane Catholic Education Prep to Year 12 College, situated on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. As the Principal of Notre Dame College, I am thrilled to introduce you to our vibrant and spiritually nurturing community, nestled within the Our Lady of the Rosary Parish Caloundra and enriched by the Marist charism.

At Notre Dame College, we are committed to providing an innovative and engaging learning experience, supported by state-of-the-art resources and facilities. Our dedication to high expectations and excellence ensures that every student is inspired to reach their full potential. We warmly welcome students from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and abilities, fostering a community that celebrates diversity and promotes social responsibility.

Our collaborative staff culture is dedicated to creating an environment where every student is engaged and feels valued and supported. Through shared experiences, dialogue, and mutual respect, we cultivate a sense of unity and inclusivity that enhances the learning journey for all. Our mission is to prepare students for a bright future, equipping them with the skills and values needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

We are a Christ-centred, innovative learning community where bold faith converges with the virtues of courage, compassion, and hope. Together, we shape young people with brave spirits, strong minds, and compassionate hearts who thrive within the Notre Dame family.

Rooted in the Catholic tradition and in dialogue with the community, Notre Dame College challenges individuals to:

• Make Jesus known and loved through an active faith life.

• Develop agency and capabilities for a better future.

• Be courageous, reflective, and of generous spirit in their thinking and being.

• Be socially responsible, living in solidarity with others and the earth.

I invite you to join us at Notre Dame College, a Prep to 12 Catholic Co-educational College in the Marist tradition, where we strive to nurture and develop the whole person, preparing them for a life of purpose and service.

Warm regards,
Daniel McShea
Principal, Notre Dame College
