The 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.
This has remained the college’s commitment over the years, and today the boarding houses serve the families of the Kilmore region and beyond, with some students the third generation of their own families.
The family-style boarding centres allow students to thrive, and there is a real sense of young people flourishing in surroundings that challenge and excite them.
Assumption College boarding staff live onsite with the students and provide a family spirit so students and their parents feel welcomed and valued.
A purpose-built agricultural and animal studies facility was opened in 2023, and in 2024 construction will begin on an innovative STEM and allied health facility.
Assumption College students are connected through multi-age home groups, often grouped alongside siblings where a strong bond can be formed between the group’s mentor, children and their parents.
The innovative MyMAP curriculum focuses on ‘stage not age’ learning, offering a vast range of options.
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.
Accelerated university subjects are also offered which contribute to their ATAR.
