30 Year Anniversary Reunion

In 2025, we proudly celebrate 30 years since the founding of Damascus College, a milestone that honours our rich heritage and the uniting of three schools, Sacred Heart College, St Martin’s in the Pines and St Paul’s Technical College. Together, we have built a vibrant, faith-filled community that continues to inspire students and families across generations.

We invite all members of our community - past and present students, families, staff and friends — to join us.

30 Year Anniversary Reunion on Saturday 25 October 2025, from 2.00pm to 5.00pm at Damascus College. Enjoy live music, campus tours, archive displays, refreshments and the opportunity to reconnect, reminisce and celebrate our shared story.

A message from the principal

Welcome

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to learn more about the Damascus College community.

Damascus College is a Christ centred co-educational Catholic secondary school, where all within the College work together to build an educational community that allows young people to flourish and be their best. Damascus College is founded in the rich legacy of the Sisters of Mercy and the Parish Priests of Greater Ballarat.

In exploring a Damascus education, it is important that we create an open and trusting partnership where the school operates in collaboration with our families’ to enable young people to thrive.

Quinn's Story
Archie's Story
Dana's Story

Life can get busy for Quinn. Her passion and her future as a downhill mountain biker are bright. Early starts, late finishes, she is busy most weekends working on her craft. Quinn is supported by her family and is remarkably dedicated and focused on her schoolwork and mountain biking. No matter what she always puts school first, she is always prioritising her studies and loves the practical subjects like textiles and wood. Quinn is a well-rounded young person and Damascus College is equipping her to be ready to take on anything.

Archie has a bright future ahead of him and is making the most of all the opportunities available to him. He is highly academic and is a people person, he is passionate about building personal connections with those he meets. Archie’s family continues through the generations, as his parents met at Damascus College, and his brother and sister continue this legacy. He isn’t sure what his future holds but knows that Damascus College will help him to be his best and find his calling.

Dana is bursting with creative energy and thrives on artistic expression. She loves to perform, whether it's dance, singing, piano, acting. Life is about balance for Dana, balancing her academic pursuits with her passion for performing. She loves to read and write and enjoys helping people. Her vibrant personality comes across in everything she is involved in. Performing and creativity is in her blood - it's what she has inside, and it's what's around her that allows her to flourish at Damascus College.
