The Assumption College community was founded in 1893 to provide Catholic families living in remote and regional areas, with a high-quality schooling and boarding experience for their children.
Over the years, this has remained the college’s commitment, and today the boarding houses serve the families of the Kilmore region and beyond, with students following their parents and grandparents into the boarding houses.
Boarding students thrive in their comfortable family style centres.
There is a palpable sense of young people flourishing in surroundings that challenge and excite them.
Assumption College boarding staff live on site with the students and provide a family spirit so both students and their parents feel welcomed and valued.
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, VCE-VM 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.
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 foundational elements required to enhance their skill development, knowledge and understanding in future years.
