St Cecilia'S School

Overview

St Cecilia's School is a Catholic primary school at 4 Van Ness Avenue, Glen Iris, sitting within a predominantly residential pocket of the suburb between Malvern Road and the Gardiner's Creek corridor. Van Ness Avenue is a quiet, tree-lined street, and the school draws families walking from surrounding streets including Malvern Road, Isabella Grove, and the network of avenues that define this part of Glen Iris. A faith-integrated curriculum supported by strong parish connections characterises the school's culture, creating a cohesive community that parents and students find deeply appealing. Gardiner's Creek Reserve provides nearby bushland recreation and cycling trail access. Malvern Road carries a tram service to the city and to Chapel Street's retail hub in South Yarra. Gardiner Railway Station is within a short drive or bicycle ride along Gardiners Creek Road. The High Street shopping strip in Glen Iris is accessible for daily errands. Cabrini Health on Wattletree Road in Malvern East is the major nearby institutional landmark. The school operates within an area of well-established homes, with the settled, community-oriented character typical of Boroondara's eastern residential suburbs. Strong café culture along nearby High Street and Malvern Road supports a vibrant morning and afternoon school-run routine for the school's engaged and active parent community.
