College History
Kardinia International College （カーディニアインターナショナルカレッジ） was founded by the late Yoshimaro Katsumata (よしまろ かつまた） who purchased Morongo's buildings, grounds, facilities and resources in mid-1995. It first opened in 1996 with 31 secondary students and 42 kindergarten children. This would grow to around 1700 students by 2009. The International Baccalaureate has been implemented at the primary school years level and at the Diploma level.
The word Kardinia is a Tasmanian Aboriginal word which means sunrise or new beginning.
Gotemba Nishi High School, also owned by Katsumata, is a sister school to Kardinia International College.
