Every Girl Known
Every Girl Valued
OLSH College is a Catholic community where every girl is known, valued and encouraged to learn with purpose.
Guided by faith, relationships and a commitment to excellence, we welcome families from all cultures, backgrounds and faith traditions.
Our community is shaped by belonging, compassion and high expectations, creating an environment where every student is supported to discover her strengths, contribute to others and embrace opportunities.
For All Girls
“For All Girls” is the promise at the heart of OLSH College.
It reflects our commitment to knowing each student, valuing her uniqueness and supporting her all the way through her high school journey.
The qualities we nurture matter as much as the knowledge we teach.
Through learning, wellbeing, relationships and opportunities beyond the classroom, we encourage every girl to develop the attributes that help her thrive both at school and throughout life.
Inquisitive, Discerning, Collaborative, Cooperative
We encourage girls to ask questions, seek understanding and approach the world with an open mind. Through discovery, exploration and collaboration, students develop a love of learning that extends far beyond the classroom.
Welcoming, Respectful, Compassionate, Generous, Loving
Kindness is at the heart of our community. We encourage girls to value relationships, show compassion, act with empathy and recognise the dignity of every person.
Diligent, Hard-working, Responsible, Ambitious, Confident
Inspired girls embrace opportunities, pursue their goals and seek ways to make a positive difference. They recognise their strengths and understand how they can contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Determined, Independent, Courageous, Proactive
We encourage girls to ask questions, seek understanding and approach the world with an open mind. Through discovery, exploration and collaboration, students develop a love of learning that extends far beyond the classroom.
Resilient, Self-aware, Balanced, Faith-Filled
Resilient girls understand themselves, value wellbeing and approach life with balance and perspective. They develop the ability to navigate change, respond to challenges and continue moving forward.
Enterprising, Entrepreneurial, Thinkers, Initiators
We encourage girls to imagine possibilities, think differently and bring ideas to life. Whether in the arts, sciences, technologies or everyday problem-solving, creativity enables girls to innovate and adapt in a changing world.
Grounded in Faith
As a Catholic school, faith shapes our values, our relationships and our commitment to serving others. It inspires us to create a community built on compassion, respect and a belief in the dignity of every person.
At the same time, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College is proudly multicultural and inclusive. We welcome families from many cultures, backgrounds and faith traditions, actively recognising and celebrating the richness and strength that diversity brings to our community.
Students learn alongside peers with different experiences and perspectives, developing understanding, respect and a sense of belonging in an increasingly interconnected and ever-changing world.
Founded by the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in 1951
For 75 years, OLSH College has been shaped by the vision and values of the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (OLSH Sisters). Their commitment to faith, education, service and relationships continues to influence our college community today.
As part of the wider family of OLSH schools, we share a common charism that encourages young people to live with purpose, act with compassion and make a positive difference in the lives of others. While our College has grown and evolved, the spirit of the OLSH Sisters remains at the heart of who we are.
The OLSH Pillars of Education
The four OLSH Pillars of Education have guided our community since the College was founded by the OLSH Sisters. Shared by OLSH schools throughout the world, they express the values, beliefs and spirit that continue to shape life at our College today.
The Pillars influence the way we learn, nurture relationships, care for wellbeing and engage with our wider community. They provide the foundation for an education that values each girl’s uniqueness while encouraging her to contribute positively to the world around her.
