St Vincent’s College Ashfield

What St Vincent’s College Ashfield does

St Vincent's College Ashfield is a K-12 coeducational Catholic college located in Sydney's inner west, operating from two Ashfield campuses (K-4 on Charlotte Street and Years 5-12 on Bland Street). The college was formed in 2023 through the amalgamation of three schools — Bethlehem College (founded 1881), De La Salle College (founded 1916) and St Vincent's Catholic Primary School (founded 1882) — bringing over 400 years of combined educational service under the governance of Sydney Catholic Schools, the Archdiocese of Sydney system of 147 primary and secondary schools.

Its core offering is a seamless K-12 educational journey structured into Early, Middle and Senior Years, supported by specialist programs in STEM, the Newman Selective Gifted Education Program, the Amadeus Music Education Program (Years 3-8), elite sports pathways and a broad co-curricular catalogue. The college holds strategic partnerships with the University of Technology Sydney and Western Sydney University, integrates the system-wide Be You wellbeing initiative, and operates ancillary services such as before/after-school care (7am-7pm) and a supervised study centre. A staged transition to a fully co-educational model is targeted for completion by 2027.

The college is a non-profit institution whose revenue is generated through annual tuition fees (A$2,705–A$5,640 per first child depending on year level), a per-family building levy of A$911, school-based charges for materials and excursions, and music/instrument fees. Distribution is via direct family enrollment, a priority feeder pipeline from 21 listed Catholic primary schools in the Ashfield-Olympic Park network, and the centralised Sydney Catholic Schools enrollment portal. The customer base is families in Sydney's inner-west seeking Catholic co-educational schooling for children from Kindergarten through Year 12.
