Christian Brothers' College

Education Directory introduces Christian Brothers' College in St Kilda East, for all your education and learning needs.

As Principal of CBC St Kilda, I am immensely proud to be part of a school that has such a long and rich heritage of scholarship and community spirit.

Since 1878, the year in which CBC St Kilda was founded by the Christian Brothers, the College has taught generations of inner-city Melbourne boys. Our 130 years of service as a Catholic secondary school have given us a special sense of purpose and a respected and meaningful place in the Melbourne community. CBC St Kilda's heritage is a rich vein, constantly providing us with inspiration.

Certainly there are tangible reminders of tradition at the College  such as the beautifully preserved nineteenth-century buildings at the heart of our lively St Kilda campus - but to me the essence of our tradition lies in the ethic and spirit of the boys conduct that can be seen in the boys themselves.

People often tell me that the CBC St Kilda boys today, are like the CBC St Kilda boys of forty or fifty years ago. Of course we know that this can't be so, but there is something in the traditions and life of the College that encourages very good manners and kindness. In other words, CBC St Kilda boys are really terrific young gentlemen. I believe that giving our boys the very best in education, while also helping them to become fine human beings, is what CBC St Kilda is all about.
