Empowering students to become active citizens

Assumption College, set on 100 acres in Kilmore, 30 minutes north of Craigieburn, is where students and their families value the beautiful and spacious facilities as well as the warm and kind relationships that their children form with each other and the staff.

Assumption College students are connected through multi-age home groups, known as Learning Mentor Groups, often grouped alongside their siblings where a strong bond can be formed between the Learning Mentor, children, and their parents.

The innovative myMAP curriculum focuses on ’stage not age’ learning, offering a vast range of offerings. As students enter their senior school years, they can personalise their VCE journey with courses including the VCE, Vocational Education and Training or School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships. Students can complete accelerated VCE studies within the myMAP years and enter accelerated university subjects during VCE that contribute to their ATAR.

Subjects such as High-Performance Sport, with partners such as Liverpool Football Club, Essendon Football Club and Netball and Cricket Victoria, are further ways our students find connection, along with an extensive co-curricular program and activities.

At Assumption College, we believe in nurturing students by enriching them academically, morally, socially, spiritually, and empowering them to become active and compassionate citizens.Students work together to achieve their best and share their pride in these collective efforts. This collaboration is transferable, where working with their peers becomes one of the foundation elements that they need to enhance their skill development, knowledge and understanding.

Applications now open for Year 7 2026 with limited positions across all year levels available for 2024-2025.
