PRINCIPAL'S WELCOME
Welcome To Kearnan College, Manjimup​
​
Kearnan College is a Catholic co-educational school catering for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. The College was founded by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart in 1925 and has a rich history of providing quality education to children and young adults in Manjimup and the surrounding areas for the last 100 years.​
​
At Kearnan College, we place a strong focus on being student-centred. Staff seek to develop positive and respectful relationships with students so each young person can experience success and feel a sense of belonging within our school community. A growth mindset and life-long learning is modelled by staff so that students can develop an understanding that we continue to learn and grow throughout our lives. We aim to develop young people who lead fulfilled lives and are able to explore their interests and contribute positively to their local and wider communities.
​
Kearnan College provides a safe and harmonious school environment underpinned by exceptional pastoral care. Embedded within the Gospel values of respect, honesty, kindness and love, the College has adopted numerous processes and structures to ensure students have a voice, are able to contribute to the school’s positive culture and have the opportunity to learn in a calm and orderly environment. We have high expectations that our students work hard, care for others and contribute to making Kearnan College an outstanding place of learning and joy.
​
At Kearnan College, we highly value the close partnerships we share between staff, parents, parish and the wider community. We see parents as the first educators of their children and it is our goal to work collaboratively and positively with them with open and respectful communication. We share the goal of providing the best education and school experience we can for those in our care.

If you are interested in exploring the opportunity to enrol your child at Kearnan College, I would be happy to arrange a school tour and a meeting to discuss your child’s needs and aspirations.
