Thank you for taking the opportunity to learn more about San Sisto College. As a Catholic secondary school in the Dominican Tradition we are committed to the education of young women. The Dominican values of faith, study, truth and community are as essential to the contemporary world as they were in previous times.

Our aim is to provide a learning environment that supports the individual student to meet the challenges of the future. With an emphasis on academic achievement, development of practical skills, promotion of community harmony and a wide co-curricular program, the College seeks to challenge each student in individual ways while fostering a strong feeling of community.

The College provides an extensive curriculum which caters for the varied interests and needs of students seeking both academic and vocational outcomes with technology integrated across learning areas within the curriculum. Students are also encouraged to participate within their community through involvement in a wide range of social justice activities.

Parent contact is particularly welcomed with an emphasis on the partnership between home and school. The importance of good adult role models in the lives of young people cannot be emphasised too strongly. High quality communication between parents and teachers provides a secure environment that fosters the positive development of our young women.

I hope you enjoy your browse through our website, experiencing a taste of the wonderful things that life at San Sisto has to offer.

Parents and Friends Association

All parents of the College are automatically members of this Association. It is affiliated with the Brisbane Archdiocesan Association as well as with the Federation of Parents and Friends' Association of Queensland. The San Sisto College Association exists to give moral and financial support to the College, and its members assist with the organisation of social events and working bees. Our Association meets at least once per term.

San Sisto College Board

The San Sisto College Board is of the pastoral model as distinct from a board of management. Its aim is to ensure that the College fulfils its Christian educational responsibility within general pastoral goals as directed by the goals and policies of the Brisbane Catholic Education Authority. Policy decisions should more commonly be the outcome, not of debate, but rather the discernment of God's will through prayer, reflection and dialogue. Parental involvement in the College Board is always welcome and enquiries can be made to the Principal. Any person who serves on the College Board must obtain a Blue Card.
