Nagle College Bairnsdale

What Nagle College Bairnsdale does

Nagle College Bairnsdale (legal name Nagle Catholic College Bairnsdale) is a private Catholic secondary school located at 20 Hope Avenue, Bairnsdale, Victoria, Australia, founded in 1958 and operating under the governance of the Diocese of Sale Catholic Education Ltd (DOSCEL). The college serves students from Year 7 through Year 12 in the East Gippsland region, delivering three senior secondary pathways: the VCE ATAR track for university-bound students, the VCE Vocational Major (VM) for workforce-oriented learners, and the Big Picture Learning Academy, a dual-credential program pairing VCE VM with the International Big Picture Learning Credential. Core products and services include a comprehensive curriculum (Years 7-12), co-curricular offerings such as theatrical productions and retreat programs, careers and pathways counselling, student wellbeing services, a cash-free online canteen, and multi-route bus transport across Wy Yung, Eastwood, and Orbost.

The college's technology stack is conventional education-sector infrastructure rather than proprietary platform technology: Microsoft 365 (branded MyMail) for staff and student communication, SIMON for student information management, PAM as the parent portal, the Nagle Shop online canteen ordering system, and TryBooking for event ticketing. Third-party educational services include VTAC, Morrisby Testing, School TV, and various government career portals. The school also operates alumni and yearbook programs, hosts Catholic Education Week events for 43 diocesan schools, and runs international exchanges via the Cagliero Project.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees (structured and published on the college website), supplemented by canteen transactions and bus service fees. The college employs approximately 69 staff and is led by Principal Doug Doherty in his third year, with a leadership team that includes Deputy Principals, Careers Coordinators, a VET Coordinator, and the Big Picture Academy Leader. As a non-profit Catholic institution, the college is accountable to DOSCEL rather than private shareholders, and no venture capital, private equity, or public ownership applies.
