The Spirit Of Mt A

See what our students say

Students and staff are proud of their college. They display this in their preparedness to celebrate the spirit that is Mount Alvernia by participating in the variety of opportunities to demonstrate or support our commitment to being an inclusive community.

The spirit of Mount Alvernia is a genuine feeling of pride and sense of belonging for all who come into contact with the College, especially present students, staff and Alumnae.

From the moment you enter our school grounds, you have a sense of the College’s heritage; you will experience a sense of community. From the way the students dress and conduct themselves to the professionalism of staff, from the beauty of the gardens to the new state-of-the-art facilities, to the proud honour rolls and Christian devotion. This is a college that is at the forefront of academic and cultural excellence whilst blending tradition with administrative innovation and strong values.

The spirit of Mount Alvernia is an immense feeling of association with the College and all that it stands for. With a history spanning 61 years and over 10,000 alumnae, Mount Alvernia College remains one of the top girls’ schools in Queensland.
