Caroline Chisholm Catholic College was founded in 1997 and has it’s origins in three colleges: Christ the King (est. 1963), St. John’s College (est. 1965) and Chisholm College (est. 1977), each established to bring a Catholic education to girls and boys of the western suburbs of Melbourne.
The College comprises three schools on two sites, St John's (Year 7 to 9 Boys), Christ the King (Year 7 to 9 Girls) and Sacred Heart (Year 10 to 12 Seniors), all located in multicultural Braybrook. Caroline Chisholm is a secondary Catholic College with single sex and co-educational arrangements and provides arrangements through the use of a common timetable; technological networking and a shuttle bus that ensures all students gain maximum access to various specialised facilities on either site.
The progressive culture of Caroline Chisholm also reflects the spirit of the College’s founders, the Brothers of the Sacred Heart and the Religious (Sisters) of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The parishes of Albion, Braybrook, Deer Park, Maidstone, North Sunshine, Sunshine and West Sunshine sponsor the College. |
