Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide a holistic Catholic education for boys that inspires them to a life-long development of their faith. Informed by the spirit of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and grounded in Gospel values of justice, service, discernment, conscience and compassion, the College aims to produce young men who are cognisant of and responsive to global citizenship in a rapidly changing world.

Masterplan
Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview strives to honour its founding vision as a place where each student can realise their highest potential. The wisdom and values of our Jesuit heritage ground the College’s students in a unique identity and remarkable tradition. Our educational mission inspires students to discover their own gifts and encourages them to contribute meaningfully to the world around them.
The comprehensive evolution of Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview begins with our teaching and learning environments. We aim to build a multifaceted landscape of learning that taps into each student’s natural sense of curiosity and discovery, where every classroom becomes a hub of collaborative and creative energies that magnifies a deeper, more enduring and applied learning that will help our students to thrive beyond our gates.
The Masterplan is critical to the full realisation of the College’s instructional philosophy, which equips students to contribute to, and improve, a changing world.

Philanthropy at Riverview
Riverview’s philanthropic identity and culture is an extension of the College’s commitment to service, conscience and compassion.
Significant donor support in partnership with the College will allow us to both continue the Jesuit mission of supporting those who are marginalised in our community, while continuing excellence in teaching and learning through our building program. Together, we can create the next chapter of the enduring evolution of Riverview, where our boys continue to strive to be men for and with others.
