Catholic College Wodonga

Catholic College Wodonga is a co-educational Catholic school in Wodonga, Victoria, Australia, catering for students from Years 7 through to 12.

Founded by the Wodonga Catholic Parish in 1979, the College's aim is to find "Life in Jesus" and to continue the work of the Sisters of Mercy in educating young people for a range of pathways in life. Catholic College Wodonga is part of Catholic Education Wodonga (CEW), a division of Catholic Education Sandhurst.

Because of this association students are often streamed from the three Catholic primary schools which make up the rest of CEW. These feeder schools are St. Monica's Primary School, St. Augustine's Primary School and St Francis of Assisi Primary School.

In 1876 a co-educational primary school was built on the corner of High Street and Osburn Street. In 1892, four teachers from the Sisters of Mercy from Albury began the foundation of a new educational institution in Wodonga, which was completed in 1899 and became St. Augustine's Primary school. The school continued until 1982 under the name St Augustine's. In the meanwhile, female students from out-lying areas boarded at the convent.

In the 1970s, Albury-Wodonga was declared a National Growth Centre and by 1979 an increased number of students lead to the St Augustine’s Girls Secondary College being relocated to the Wodonga West location under the new name of "Catholic College Wodonga"

In 2019, the college celebrated its 40th anniversary.

In 2024, the college was subject to numerous scandals.

In May 2024, Catholic College became involved in a scandal following the emergence of an alleged private Snapchat group created by Year 12 male students. This group was suspected of containing comments about the physical appearance of their female peers.
