At St Kevin’s College, we are committed to living our values of compassion, integrity and excellence in all that we do. As a Catholic school for boys in the charism of Blessed Edmund Rice, it is our priority to develop students holistically as we guide their emotional, academic and spiritual wellbeing.
These policies have been developed in line with the College's values, statutory guidance, regulatory requirements and best practice. These policies may be varied by the College from time to time at its absolute discretion.
St Kevin’s College is seeking dynamic and dedicated educators who are interested in working at the College. As part of our community, you will have the opportunity to make a lasting impact, work with a supportive staff and contribute to a tradition of excellence.

At Glendalough, the Preparatory to Year 6 campus of St Kevin’s College, we firmly believe that students develop a love of learning when provided with the right environment, motivation, and opportunities.

Nestled within the educational philosophy of St Kevin's College, the Waterford campus stands as a beacon of innovation, personal growth, and cultural appreciation for Year 9 students.

St Kevin’s College is built on a foundation that promotes student wellbeing and a safe and secure learning environment that challenges, encourages and supports all students. Our staff provide a caring and supportive community that enables students to acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
Education – from Prep through to Year 12 – seeks to inspire students, to create a sense of wonder about the world in which they live, and to empower them to participate in that world as productive, happy and morally upright citizens. St Kevin’s sees its important role in educating young men of Melbourne as critical in shaping lives that will give back to others – those in our city, our state, our country and, indeed, our world – who have not had the same opportunities as they. Indeed, education liberates. If St Kevin’s students are to make a difference in the world, and before they can truly liberate the less fortunate, the oppressed and the marginalised, they must first become liberated by the education they receive. In the 21st Century, education is more highly-regarded than ever it has been before.
Ask yourself what you want for your son; the answer will probably be that you want him to love, and to be loved, to be happy and good, and for him to have choices that facilitate a sense of contribution and success. St Kevin’s boys are accompanied towards their preferred futures by expert teachers who are well versed in the special requirements of boys’ education. Our programs reflect current thinking and understanding of the developmental stages through which boys journey.
Located behind St Peter’s Church on Toorak Road and within walking distance of Glendalough, St Kevin’s College Junior School, our Early Learning Centre fosters a sense of excitement and curiosity, encouraging children to explore, research, and ask questions. In partnership with parents, our dedicated teachers create a supportive and collaborative environment that allows each child to develop their sense of belonging and reach their full potential. Our School’s innovative approach to early childhood education is guided by the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) and influenced by the Reggio Emilia Approach which recognises children as capable and competent, with the ability to communicate, learn, and discover in many ways. The St Peter’s ELC learning environment is dynamic and nurturing. Our unique outdoor space further enhances the learning, providing opportunities for physical play whilst fostering an awareness of sustainability and environmental science. We invite you to contact us for a tour and we look forward to welcoming you to St Peter’s ELC at St Kevin’s College soon.
