Nazareth College is a Catholic, co-educational, secondary day school, located in Noble Park North, a south eastern suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Established in 1986, the college currently caters for approximately 800 students in Years seven through twelve.
Nazareth was established in 1986 through the collaboration of four local parish primary-level schools: St Elizabeth's in Noble Park North, St Gerard's in Dandenong North, St Justin's in Wheelers Hill and St Simon's in Rowville. At the time, it was seen that there was need for a local regional college following the Catholic tradition and hence, Nazareth College was formed to cater to students from the four parishes. A majority of the students at Nazareth College are graduates of one of the parish schools listed above.
Nazareth College's past principals have been:
The Nazareth Cluster is a collaboration of Nazareth College and its four feeder schools: St Elizabeth's, St Gerard's, St Justin's and St Simon's. The collaboration's purpose is to ease the transition between primary school and secondary school. It is from this cluster that Nazareth College draws its priests for mass.
Nazareth College comprises a Middle School and Senior School. Middle School caters for the students in Years 7-9 and the Senior School caters for the students in 10-12.
In the Middle School, students must complete the core subjects (subjects compulsory to all students including English, Science, Mathematics, Arts, Technology, and a Language subject) such as English, Mathematics, etc. At Year 9, students are given the opportunity to select subjects including a language (either Italian or Japanese) and a variety of other subjects.
In the Senior School, focus is placed upon the completion of the primarily academic VCE, or the more trade orientated VCAL.
