School History & Details

Ave Maria College, a Catholic secondary school exclusively for girls, was founded in 1963 by the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary (FMM). Situated in Aberfeldie, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, this educational institution is in close proximity to other Catholic high schools such as St Columba's College and St Bernard's College. Over the past decade, significant renovations have been carried out on the school premises. These renovations encompass the construction of a glass-roofed Piazza featuring a winter garden, canteen, and classrooms. Additionally, the science and technology departments have been refurbished, and the school library has undergone an upgrade, now referred to as the Helene Library. Notably, in 2019, the Helene building's renovations were completed, which included the establishment of a dedicated Year 12 area on its third level, offering panoramic views of the surrounding areas.
