Caroline Chisholm College is a Roman Catholic girls school for years 7-12 located in Glenmore Park, New South Wales. It is under the direction of the Catholic Education, Parramatta Diocese. The school is named in honor of Caroline Chisholm, a pioneer in Australian history and social reformer. ProfileThe school was established in 1974 and opened with only 20 students and 5 staff members. In 1976, the school was moved to its present site in Glenmore Park. From 1976 - 1997, the school only educated girls from grades 7-10. In 1997, a restructure was made to transform the school into a college, at which time it began enrolling students for years 11 and 12. The school currently enrols over 1000 students with over 70 full-time and part-time teachers. Although the majority of the student body was born in Australia, many others come from other countries such as the Philippines and Malta. The students are particularly involved in social justice, raising money for various organizations such as the St. Vincent de Paul Society and World Vision, Caritas Australia, Mamie and Penrith Community Kitchen. From 1998-2002, the school underwent a campaign to improve the campus facilities. The previous principal Christine Howe along with current Assistant principal Gregory King have also significantly promoted technology in the classroom, with substantial funds spent on computers and teacher training. The school currently employs a 1-1 iPad program for junior years (7-9).
