St Columba's is a multi-age school, with over 300 students split into 14 learning groups, the school is situated in North Ballarat in regional Victoria. We are a Catholic parish primary school with a vision and mission very much developed around the charism of St Columba; of having faith and being unafraid to journey into the unknown.
The original school was built in 1911 by the Sisters of Mercy and has been added to over the years.
