Personalised learning and lasting impact
Our school has a range of educational, developmental and therapy programs that enables children to reach their full intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual potential.
St Paul’s College relocated from our home of 62 years in Kew, to a modern, purpose-built campus in Balwyn in 2019. St Paul’s College teaches students from Prep to Year 12, aged five to 18.
We are a small school, with almost 60 students, and we really know every child and family in our community.
We take the time to understand every child’s individual developmental, behavioral and communication needs so they can make the most of their learning with us.
