Study at St. Paul's International College Australia
A Catholic Co-educational Boarding College
St. Paul's International College is a Catholic, Co-Educational,
Boarding College for Years 7 to 12
The Moss Vale campus, formerly known as Aurora College, was established by the
Sisters in 1986 to nurture academic excellence and to support students in their
career aspirations in a caring environment that fosters each individual's
social, emotional, moral and spiritual well-being.
While we are proud of the academic standards we have established and maintained
over the past quarter-century and more, we aim to provide an allround education,
based on Christian values, that enhances the quality of life, both spiritually
and materially, for students drawn from a broad range of ethnic and cultural
backgrounds to learn from and respect each other’s differences and to grow in an
appreciation of their shared humanity.
In a happy and stimulating learning environment, our students learn to embrace
the Paulinian heritage of truth, beauty, goodness and honour. When they leave
here, we are confident that the ethos that underlies our motto Omnibus Omnia —
being all things to all men, irrespective of race, religion and social status —
will accompany them throughout their lives.
St. Paul's International College has an
outstanding record of academic achievement, with an estimated 95% of its
students progressing to Australian universities each year.
St Paul’s International College courses are offered to both Australian residents
and overseas students. They are designed to prepare students for entry to
university.
