Welcome to Christian Brothers' College

Founded by the Christian Brothers in 1878 in the Edmund Rice tradition our College has taught generations of inner-city Melbourne boys. Having more than 130 years of service as a Catholic secondary school has given us a special sense of purpose and a respected and meaningful place in the Melbourne community. The school has beautifully preserved nineteenth-century buildings at the heart of the campus – but the greatest reminder of tradition lies in the ethic and spirit of the boys conduct. There is something in the traditions and life of the College that encourages very good manners and kindness. Providing our students the very best in education while also helping them to become fine human beings is what CBC St Kilda is all about.

A Tradition of Educating Boys

We live in a complex and fast paced world that requires our young men to have important moral frameworks social skills as well as independence in learning and empathy and sensitivity toward others. We once thought that maleness was pretty straightforward but we now understand that boys are incredibly diverse people. Young men are interested in the arts social justice and community. They need opportunities to explore the world of music other cultures as well as play on the sporting field. CBC has led the way by recognising that strength graciousness and gentleness are compatible and having energy and being robust does not exclude humility Kindness or sensitivity.

Year 7 & 8

CBC St Kilda provides a diverse curriculum option for students in Years 7 and 8. The College believes in creating learning opportunities in every aspect of a boy's school day so that our students can build strong understanding and skills in reflecting on themselves as a learner. In Year 7 the curriculum is integrated and grouped into main learning categories that allow students to make links between traditional subject areas and create real connections to their own experiences. Moving on from the more integrated course offered at Year 7 the program focuses on building particular learning capacities which support student learning and achievement. These include the ability to: be resourceful learners show perseverance and resilience when facing new concepts and developing new understandings undertake reflective processes to improve learning and develop effective interpersonal learning skills which will encourage cooperative work with their peers and with other facilitators in the learning process such as teachers community organisations external experts and presenters.
