St Bernard’s College Old Collegians Association

We wanted to provoke some reminiscing of years gone by, so we're going to dig into the St Bernard's Archives and fish out some memories! We'd love it if you have photos from your time at St Bernard's and would be willing to send them in to share with us!

Congratulations to both Old Collegians on these exciting new roles, while the pair did not attend St Bernard's during the same time-period, we are sure they'll be able to whip things into shape with an SBC spirit!

Annual Giving at St Bernard's College Foundation

Our College’s determination to create the best available Learning Institution for boys is certainly a high priority. Since 2008 through the generous support of the St Bernard’s College community, the Foundation has been able to provide over $600,000 in bursaries and scholarships, as well as over $750,000 to assist with the provision of the state of the art buildings and facilities.

But there is still so much more to be done.

A Gift to our Annual Giving Campaign from you will have a direct and immediate impact on the students of St Bernard’s College.

With your help, we can continue to provide Catholic boys of Essendon the opportunity to fulfil their dreams at St Bernard’s College.

Gifts are tax deductible.
