Nazareth College (Australia) - History

History

Nazareth was established in 1986 through the collaboration of four local parish primary-level schools: St Elizabeth's in Noble Park North, St Gerard's in Dandenong North, St Justin's in Wheelers Hill and St Simon's in Rowville. At the time, it was seen that there was need for a local regional college following the Catholic tradition and hence, Nazareth College was formed to cater to students from the four parishes. A majority of the students at Nazareth College are graduates of one of the parish schools listed above.

Nazareth College's past principals have been:

  • Paul D'Astoli (1986–1996)
  • Gregory Clarke (1997–2006)
  • Anne McDonald (2007–present)

    It is my conviction that women are the natural orators of the race.
    Eliza Archard Connor, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 9, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)

    We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.
