Presentation College Windsor is a Catholic secondary school for girls. The College was established upon the arrival of seven Presentation Sisters from Ireland in 1873 and it continues to be a thriving community based on Gospel values.

The curriculum of PCW is diverse and dynamic and the individual talents of each student are respected and nurtured. The co-curricular program of the College caters for the needs of all students and provides access to a vast range of activities that both enhance and educate.

The College enrols students from Years 7 to 12, with the typical student population being between 650 and 700. This is an ideal size, retaining a real sense of community where students know one another and can feel secure within their environment, while also being large enough to offer a wide range of subject and extra-curricular choices. There is also a Boarders' Residence located adjacent to the College, which has accommodation for 15 students from regional areas of Victoria and New South Wales.

Presentation College Windsor is proud of its tradition as a place where the pursuit of academic excellence is coupled with the teachings of the Christian faith. As one of the more multicultural schools in Melbourne, PCW offers a rich and enlivening environment where young people are educated in the context of an ethos that promotes social justice and harmony.

PCW enjoys a close working relationship with the neighbouring boys' college, Christian Brothers' College St Kilda. Some classes in the Senior School are shared, as are social activities, resources and, very importantly, the stories of our two Congregational Founders, Nano Nagle and Edmund Rice. The strength of the friendship between the two schools is an asset to students and staff and the ongoing growth and development of both PCW and CBC.
