Our school provides opportunities for students, staff and parents to know and celebrate their Catholic faith. This is done through the religious life of our school. Members of our community experience a rich liturgical and prayer life, celebration of the Sacraments, faith formation, social outreach activities, and opportunities to share faith with each other and with youth from other schools in the Archdiocese.
St Clare’s College Waverley is a Catholic community invigorated by the Franciscan charism and committed to maintaining our Franciscan tradition. Our college proudly proclaims our heritage in all aspects of our existence and calls us to follow in the footsteps of St Clare of Assisi and embrace the qualities of truth, humility, prudence, and charity to mirror Christ. Our college is committed to the evangelising mission of the Church and seeks to educate our young women in the spirit of St Clare.
Our girls regularly engage in the Catholic life of the school. We recognise that prayer, meditation, liturgy, reflection days, and overnight retreats are vital components of our existence.
Our college continues to educate our girls to respect human dignity and to exercise compassion for the oppressed and the environment. We seek to communicate with God by reaching out to those who are most vulnerable and this is reflected in the myriad of social justice projects, which are initiated by our students.
