I wish to extend a warm welcome to your family on behalf of our college community.
Bunbury Catholic College is a co-educational school catering for students from Year 7 to Year 12. The College has a rich history associated with the Mercy Sisters and Marist Brothers who came to Bunbury to educate students from across the South West, the Sisters of Mercy in 1894 and the Marist Brothers in 1954. The Marist Charism guides our actions and decisions.
At Bunbury Catholic College, our students are at the heart of everything we do. We are dedicated to fostering a safe, inclusive, and harmonious environment where meaningful relationships thrive, and every individual is valued. Our strength lies in the close partnerships we build among students, staff, parents, and the broader community. We prioritise and nurture positive, respectful relationships, and our commitment to pastoral care is widely recognised and cherished within the community.
Our mission is to empower students to become confident and compassionate young adults, inspired by the teachings of Jesus, to make a difference in a changing world. Our staff consistently seek opportunities to extend learning beyond the classroom, leveraging local resources and authentic experiences within the wider community. Together, we cultivate a culture that encourages creativity, collaboration, self-expression, resilience, and passion in every student. We set high expectations, inspiring our students to work hard, care for one another, and contribute to making our College a vibrant, outstanding place of learning.
We warmly welcome prospective families to experience life at Bunbury Catholic College firsthand. The best way to appreciate our community is to see it in action on a typical school day. I would be delighted to arrange a personal tour and discuss how we can meet your child’s educational needs.
Being the Principal of this College brings immense joy along with the opportunity to foster learning and build meaningful connections. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
