Principal’s Welcome

Bunbury Catholic 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. When Bunbury Catholic College opened in 1973, it was reported as “Australia’s first completely co-educational Roman Catholic school”.

We offer our students the opportunity to access a quality Catholic education from Year 7 thought to Year 12, in a coeducational environment where the focus is on meeting the needs of every student. Our dedicated teaching and support staff at the College share parents’ aspirations for their children to achieve their full potential, in an environment that is welcoming and safe.

Quality teaching and learning, partnered with strong teacher and student relationships, embedded in an environment that is underpinned by Gospel values, is at the heart of everything we do at Bunbury Catholic College.

In the classroom our teachers and support staff strive to make the most of each lesson, to inspire and enable our students to achieve their personal best. Co-curricular and specialist programs are offered to students who wish to further develop their gifts and talents.

Our College welcomes all students, both Catholic and non-Catholic; we simply ask that families and students support the overall Catholic ethos of our College. Prospective families are encouraged to contact the College by telephone or email to find out more about the outstanding opportunities available to all students at Bunbury Catholic College.

We welcome all new families, as they become part of our wonderful College community, and thank existing families for their ongoing support.
