Notre Dame College Shepparton

What Notre Dame College Shepparton does

Notre Dame College Shepparton is a private Catholic secondary college serving students in Years 7 through 12 across the Goulburn Valley region of Victoria, Australia. Founded by the Sisters of Mercy, the college operates from two campuses — the main Knight Street campus (Years 7-8 and 10-12) and the Emmaus campus dedicated to the Year 9 programme — under the governance of Catholic Education Sandhurst Ltd (CESL). Its curriculum delivers VCE, VET and Vocational Major pathways supplemented by a Sports Academy (AFL/W, Netball, Soccer, Tennis, Cricket, Basketball, Athletics), a Performing Arts programme with biennial productions, an Instrumental Music Programme, Outdoor and Environmental Studies with overnight camps, and a structured 35-hour workplace learning requirement.

The college runs a technology-rich learning environment anchored by the SEQTA Learning Management System (SEQTA Engage for parents, SEQTA Learn for students/teachers), a 1:1 Notebook Programme that issues laptops in Year 7 and upgrades to senior notebooks in Year 10, the ClickView video platform, the Renaissance Reading Programme, Accessit Library, and integrations with Goulburn Valley Libraries (Borrow Box, Comics Plus, Libby). Operational platforms include Consent2Go for excursion permissions, Operoo for student information, and Microsoft SharePoint for the staff intranet. There is no proprietary AI or machine-learning layer; the stack is composed of established third-party education and productivity tools.

Revenue is generated through recurring tuition and enrolment fees paid by families, supplemented by ancillary fee streams such as the Instrumental Music Programme (AUD $40 per 30-minute lesson with annual admin fees). The college pursues a direct-to-consumer go-to-market: families engage through the website, social media, the Notre Weekly newsletter, subject selection evenings, enrolment tours, and on-campus service delivery. The institution is operating, does not publicly disclose financial figures, and shows no evidence of private equity, venture capital, or external corporate ownership.
