Welcome to San Sisto College

We are specialists in all-girls education, passionate about our students experiencing success, and in empowering young women to shape the future.

As partners with the University of Queensland, we are leaders in Critical Thinking Pedagogy where our students are taught to think, to question, to reason, to analyse, to challenge. We know from academic research that, historically, girls are under-practiced at these skills… and so San Sisto girls are taught to think critically. These skills set our students up for excellence in learning, success at university and in the workplace, giving them confidence for active citizenship, social awareness, change making, and leadership - so that they may become women of integrity shaping the future.
