Ready to take on tomorrow

Genazzano FCJ College is a leading Catholic day and boarding school located in Kew offering a co-educational Early Learning Centre and all-girls environment from Prep to Year 12. Founded in 1889, Genazzano remains Victoria’s only Catholic girls’ boarding school.

The Genazzano FCJ College Boarding House, Hopetoun Hall, provides a 'home away from home' for girls from around Australia and overseas and accommodates up to 40 boarders from Years 7–12. Situated in a quiet and leafy Camberwell street the boarding house is easily accessible and within walking distance to the tram, trains and Camberwell shopping precinct. The beautiful character-filled home is connected to a modern purpose-built residence. The house has a range of facilities for the boarders including a dining room, recreation room, TV room, separate sitting area for senior boarders, health centre, piano room, computer room and compact gym.

Genazzano boarders are provided with a wide variety of opportunities across both the academic curriculum, as well as a comprehensive co-curricular program, which covers the breadth of sport, music, art, drama, technology, maths, creative writing, languages and social justice. These activities cater to each student’s diverse abilities and offers them the chance to form life-long friendships and interests outside the academic arena.

Within Hopetoun Hall, boarders are well represented within the College community as prefects, house captains, performers, members of sporting teams and recipients of academic honors.

Our boarders share a unique bond with one another and develop lifelong friendships with fellow boarders. They enjoy many valuable experiences during their time at Genazzano and leave as independent, confident and caring young women with an aspiration towards excellence and motivation to maximise their strengths and talents to reach their full potential.

We invite you to experience the Genazzano FCJ College difference. Book now for a Personal Tour or attend one of our Open Mornings.
