We know it’s a big step to leave your family home, your state and sometimes your country to attend university. At Duchesne, you’ll have your independence, but also the care and support of trusted adults when you need it.

Our experienced team is passionate about steering our young women towards exciting futures. We feel privileged to work in an environment shaped by the goals of the Sacred Heart and with residents who are striving to fulfill their potential.

We take a resident-centred approach to everything we do and work hard to be adaptable, flexible and to continuously improve the College. From our chefs, ground staff, and cleaners, through to our wellbeing, academic and residential living support staff, our dedicated team is here for you around the clock.
