Seton Catholic College

What Seton Catholic College does

Seton Catholic College is a private Catholic secondary school located in Samson, Western Australia, serving students from Year 7 to Year 12 with a primary intake at Year 7 (ideal application year is Year 4). Established in 1990 as the successor to three predecessor schools (St Joseph's College, St Brendan's College, and De Vialar College), the college operates as part of the Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) network and is governed by a School Advisory Council and Parents & Friends Association under Principal Chris Wallace.

The college delivers a comprehensive Catholic secondary curriculum including ATAR pathways, General courses, and Certificate II/III vocational options, alongside sport, music, drama, outdoor education and camps, and a First Nations cultural program. Its technology stack is built on a Windows-only BYOD model delivered through the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, with SEQTA as the learning management and parent portal, Rollcall for real-time bus tracking, Flexischools for canteen payments, and Campion Education's MyConnect2 platform for digital resources. The college has been recognised as a Microsoft Showcase School for 2025/2026 and employs nine Microsoft Innovative Educator Experts — the highest count among CEWA schools.

Seton generates revenue primarily through tuition and fees, supplemented by a subsidised private bus service ($1.50–$2 per ride), uniform sales, and resource/material fees. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer via the college website, in-person and virtual tours, and administrative contact, with a defined geographic catchment in the Samson/Fremantle/Cockburn/Melville corridor served by three private bus routes. As a non-profit institution, the college is funded through tuition fees, government funding, and P&F fundraising rather than external capital.
