Marymede Catholic College

What Marymede Catholic College does

Marymede Catholic College is a private Catholic co-educational school delivering Prep to Year 12 education across three campuses in Melbourne's northern growth corridor: a Primary campus and Secondary campus in South Morang (60 Williamsons Road), and a new Secondary campus in Doreen (139 Eminence Boulevard) that opened in 2024 with a Year 7 cohort and is phasing in additional year levels through 2029. The college was founded in 2006 and is governed by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Ltd (MACS) under the consent of the Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne, serving approximately 2,500 students in 2025 across the two main campuses plus an embedded St Mary's College for the Deaf site for hearing-impaired students. Curriculum is aligned with the Victorian Curriculum and includes Religious Education, Italian language, Performing and Visual Arts, a High Performance Academy for elite athletes, careers pathways counseling, and extensive co-curricular sport, music, dance, and club programs. Dedicated wellbeing infrastructure includes registered psychologists, counselors, and year-level Directors of Student Wellbeing across each campus, with all deputy principals and several directors designated as Child Protection Officers under a documented Child Safety framework.

The college operates on a tuition-fee revenue model with published 2026 pricing of $4,865 (primary single student) up to $8,763 (Year 11-12), augmented by E-Resource Fees ($130-$700/student depending on year level), a $500/family Building Levy, and tiered sibling discounts (5%-100%). Ancillary recurring revenue streams include chartered bus services across five routes with semester passes at $575-$975, MACSEYE-operated Out of School Hours Care, and affiliated Marymede Early Learning Centres delivering 3-and-4-year-old kindergarten as a feeder pipeline. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through parish-driven lead generation (Christ the Light and St Francis of Assisi parishes), campus tours, information evenings, and a centralized online application portal with a $165 non-refundable application fee. The technology stack is standard for Australian Catholic schools: SIMON for student information management, the PAM (Parent Access Module) parent portal, Edrolo for VCE preparation, and Campion Education for booklist fulfilment — none of which involve proprietary AI or machine learning differentiation. Ownership sits entirely within the Catholic educational ecosystem (MACS as governing body, Archbishop of Melbourne as ultimate consent authority), with no external investors, public listing, or traded shares.

Direct peers

• Aquinas College: Catholic co-educational secondary school in Ringwood under MACS, offering a comparable VCE curriculum, parish-aligned enrolment priority, and co-curricular model. Comparable in scale, fee structure, and MACS governance, although serving Melbourne's east rather than north.
• Loyola College: Catholic co-educational secondary school in Watsonia, immediately adjacent to Marymede in Melbourne's northern suburbs. Operates under MACS governance with a comparable VCE-led curriculum, parish ties, and co-curricular program; directly competes for the same northern catchment families.
• Mazenod College: Catholic boys' secondary school in Mulgrave operated under MACS. Similar Catholic college profile, comparable fee structure and VCE focus, and equivalent scale — directly comparable as a peer MACS secondary college.
• St Columba's College: Catholic co-educational secondary school in Essendon under MACS. Comparable P-12-adjacent Catholic offering, tuition model, and parish-aligned enrolment priorities, with a similar co-curricular and wellbeing program to Marymede.
• Whitefriars College: Catholic boys' secondary college in Donvale operating under MACS. Comparable Catholic college identity, similar tuition band, multi-year-level expansion history, and faith-led co-curricular offering — directly comparable despite eastern-suburb location.
• Parade College: Catholic boys' secondary school in Bundoora/East Reservoir operating under MACS governance. Similar dual-campus expansion history, faith-led curriculum, tuition-based model, and competitive geography on Melbourne's northern corridor make it a direct comparator to Marymede.
• Avila College: Catholic girls' secondary college in Mount Waverley under MACS governance. Mirrors Marymede's Catholic college model, tuition pricing band, and faith-led co-curricular programs; operates at a similar scale and serves as a comparable Catholic college peer.

Broad incumbents

• Haileybury: Large independent (non-Catholic) co-educational P-12 school operating multiple campuses across Melbourne, including Keysborough, Brighton and Berwick. Much larger scale and broader reach than Marymede; serves as an independent-sector benchmark for fee structure, multi-campus operations, and premium co-curricular offerings.
• Korowa Anglican Girls' School: Independent Anglican P-12 girls' school in Glen Iris. While faith tradition differs, it competes for the same Melbourne fee-paying family market with comparable tuition pricing, wellbeing programs, and co-curricular breadth; relevant as a faith-based independent-school competitor.
• Melbourne Grammar School: One of Australia's most established independent boys' schools with P-12 campuses across Melbourne. Operates at a much larger scale and longer heritage than Marymede, but competes for the same pool of premium-fee-paying Melbourne families and sets the upper bound for tuition pricing benchmarks.
