College Principal's Welcome

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome to the Terrace Family. We are a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice tradition with a proud history of academic achievement, co-curricular participation and success since 1875. Our goal is that at the end of his time at Terrace, your son will emerge as a true Gentleman of Terrace – a young man of faith and learning who will make a difference to the community as shown through his knowledge, humility and wisdom.

To achieve this goal, it is critical that there is a strong partnership between home and school. It is this partnership, along with the involvement of your son, that forms the basis of what is known as the ‘Terrace Family’. The College will work closely with you to provide an environment conducive to his spiritual, academic, sporting, cultural and personal development.

Your son’s journey at Terrace will provide him with an opportunity to achieve his academic potential, be involved in sporting, cultural and justice programs, nurture his spiritual journey and form lifelong friends. Terrace is an outstanding school that provides a holistic Catholic Education in an Edmund Rice tradition. In all that we do, we are guided by the Touchstones of Gospel Spirituality, Liberating Education, Inclusive Community and Justice and Solidarity.

In 2025 Terrace celebrates 150 years of providing a quality Catholic Education in the Edmund Rice Tradition. This history of excellence, service and family makes Terrace such a special place.

We look forward to welcoming your son to Terrace.

Regards,

Dr Michael Carroll
College Principal
