CCW opened in 1979 when St Augustine’s Girls Secondary College expanded and moved its current location as Catholic College Wodonga. Today the school continues its affiliation with Mercy Education and was recognised as one of Cambridge University’s 100 Most Innovative Schools prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.
CCW is proud to be known as a school that’s welcoming to all, providing a balance of spiritual, academic, cultural, physical, emotional, and social learning within a respectful and positive environment.
Due to being so large, it is through our six Learning Communities that we ensure every child enjoys close connections of a small school within a big school.
Catholic identity is the heart of the school, more than teaching religious education it is how we, as a community, express and live our Catholic faith. We do this not only through masses but by engaging in our local area and on a global scale through the Mercy values of hospitality, compassion, and justice.
As an example of this, CCW is a FIRE Carrier School (Friends Igniting Reconciliation through Education). This is a joint initiative of Aboriginal Catholic Ministry Victoria, Opening the Doors Foundation and Catholic Education Sandhurst, educating the wider community and ensuring the reconciliation flame remains alight in schools.
