Catholic Ladies College, Eltham (also known simply as CLC Eltham) is an independent Roman Catholic single-sex secondary day school for girls, located in the Melbourne suburb of Eltham, Victoria, Australia. The school provides a Catholic and general education to girls from Year 7 to Year 12.
The school was founded by the Sisters of Charity of Australia in 1902.[1][2][3][4][5] The school was originally in East Melbourne.[6] The land on which the school was built was bought by Mother Mary Berchmans Daly in 1898.[6]
Under the mother-rectress Mary Catherine Bruton or Mother Canice, in post from 1914, the school performed well in examinations, and the study of science subjects began.[7]
When Damien Broderick's mother attended the school in the 1930s, it was "moderately upmarket".[8]
The school moved to Eltham in 1971.[6]
The four houses and their associated colours are:
House activities and competitions include swimming, sports, athletics, and Founders Day activities.
