Join one of our campus tours and experience a typical school day in action! Guided by our experienced staff and student ambassadors, you’ll visit classrooms, see learning come to life, and have the opportunity to meet our Principal. There’s no better way to get a feel for the Stella community!
At Stella Maris College we believe in the transformative power of an all-girls' education. In a supportive and empowering environment, our students develop the confidence to lead, the courage to challenge, and the compassion to serve. Research consistently highlights the advantages of all-girls' education—where young women are free to excel academically, develop strong leadership skills, and build lifelong friendships in an atmosphere that nurtures their ambitions and aspirations.
Our vision, Inspiring Young Women to Create a Better World, is at the heart of everything we do. We celebrate the uniqueness of each student and provide an extraordinary education that nurtures both Strong Minds and Open Hearts.
Rooted in the rich tradition of Good Samaritan Education and guided by Benedictine spirituality and the parable of the Good Samaritan, we instil in our students the values of Community, Hospitality, Stewardship, and Peace & Justice—principles that shape their character and actions.
We invite you to become part of this extraordinary journey, where every girl is empowered to discover HER strengths and truly flourish.
Welcome to Stella Maris College—a place where inspiration, motivation, and celebration of individuality are the foundation of our vibrant and empowering community.
