History
Avila College is a Catholic day school for girls from Year 7. The school was established in 1965 by the Presentation Sisters. It is located in the Melbourne suburb of Mount Waverley.
In 1969, the first matriculation class of 13 students graduated. From an initial enrolment of just 110 students and two full time staff, Avila College has grown tenfold since the first classrooms were built in Charles Street. It is now one of the largest Catholic secondary schools for girls in Victoria with an enrolment of more than 1100 students.
