Padua College is a Catholicco-educationalSecondary College located in Victoria, Australia. The college derives its name from FranciscanfriarSaint Anthony of Padua (1195–1231). The Mornington campus alone provides for Approx. 1,921 students from across the Mornington Peninsula. The college also has two smaller campuses that cater for students in years 7–9 in Rosebud and in Tyabb. The Rosebud Campus provides for Approx. 300 students and the Tyabb Campus provides for Approx. 300 students
Facilities at the Mornington campus include the newly established 'Whyte Senior Learning Centre' as well as 'St Clare Performing Arts Centre', bird hide and wetlands/bushland areas, aquarium, drama rooms, art and media rooms, gymnasium, chapel, library, music rooms, tennis courts, basketball courts, food technology rooms, an agriculture/horticulture centre and two ovals, with a new Year 7 & 8 Centre being constructed.[1]
In 1898 the Sisters of Mercy opened the College of Our Lady of the Sea Boarding School for Young Ladies in Tanti Avenue, Mornington. In the following year, the Sisters established a separate school, Padua House Preparatory School for Little Boys.
The name 'Padua College' had been assumed by 1950 with the Sisters being encouraged to enrol more day boys and having Padua operating only as a junior boys boarding school. By 1960, there was no longer a need for a boarding school for either sex.
Another important date in Padua College’s history is 1968 when the primary section separated to become St Macartan’s Parish Primary School. Both schools continued to grow and in 1973 plans were drawn up for Padua College to be relocated to Oakbank Road, Mornington, which opened in 1975. An official opening ceremony was held later, in February 1977. As enrolments increased a second campus was established at Inglewood Crescent, Rosebud in 1987 and a third at Tyabb in 2014.
The administration of the College passed from the Sisters of Mercy in 1976 to lay principals, including Bernard McDowell (1977–1983), Peter Gurry (1984–1995), Patricia Cowling (1996–2000), Christopher Houlihan (2001–2015) and Anthony Banks (2016–2022). The present principal Kelly McGurn commenced in June 2023.[2]
