As we countdown to our $95 for 95 Giving Day, join us as we honour our 95-year history, celebrate the present, and help shape the next chapter of Stella's future.
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.

Who are we?
We are a community of learners where everyone is valued and supported. Wellbeing lies at our core, guided by the Benedictine values of Community, Stewardship, Hospitality, and Justice and Peace. Our students are empowered to think independently with courage, conviction and compassion. Our hearts are open to kindness, to inclusion, to love. We have strong minds and open hearts. With these, we shine.
This fun and engaging day will give pre-enrolled Year 5 students the opportunity to experience life as a Stella girl through a range of hands-on activities, including Science, PDHPE, Mathematics, Art and Technology sessions, as well as meeting current Stella students and staff.
