A learning community designed to empower

Siena College is a vibrant learning community, dedicated to providing an enriching and supportive education that promotes a learning mindset as the disposition for life. We encourage every student to reach their full potential and embrace the future with hope, courage and confidence.

At Siena, we create pathways to participation and active engagement through our learning experience. Our focus is to build the foundations that allow our students to flourish as they learn to be and do.

In the classroom and beyond, we cultivate learning independence, agency and confidence, guided by the Siena Learning Framework – encouraging collaboration, communications and the ability to think both critically and creatively.

Our Learning Spaces

Our campus blends history with contemporary design, creating a meaningful and welcoming space for everyone in our community. Our classically designed Convent and adjoining chapel are steeped in rich history, whilst our state-of-the-art learning centres offer technology-rich, flexible spaces for teaching to come alive. Among them, the three storey St Catherine Centre housing a university style lecture theatre and auditorium, as well as a purpose-built Year 12 Centre and Visual Arts and Technology gallery.

The Albert Magnus Learning Centre enables learning, collaboration, critical thinking and open-minded enquiry, with flexible spaces to work in classes, groups or individually. Students have access to a diverse range of fiction and non-fiction texts, as well as a significant catalogue of online resources through the College Learning Management System and ClickView applications.

Learning and Technology

Siena College offers technology-enabled learning, with Siena Central (our Learning Management System) housing all course materials and learning activities. Students are required to bring a laptop to support their learning, and our well-resourced ICT Department provides excellent onsite support.

We are pleased to offer our Visual Arts and Design students industry leading software for school use, as well as seamless technology integration throughout the campus.

The College invests in value-adding technology and partnerships. We provide a user-centric experience through digitised content and foster readiness for AI, augmented reality and virtual reality learning. Alongside these innovations, we retain our commitment to technology-free learning and time away from screens.

Professional Learning

To continue to attract excellent staff, we offer a Professional Learning Program, designed to support best practice, collaboration and skills development.
