Bunbury Catholic College is a Catholic secondary school, located in Bunbury, in the South West region of Western Australia.
The college was formed in 1973 after the amalgamation of St Francis Xavier's College (operated by the Marist Brothers) and St Joseph's College (operated by the Sisters of Mercy) and provides a general and religious education for approximately 1,000 students from Year 7 to Year 12.
History
In 1973 the Bishop of Bunbury mandated the administration of systemic Bunbury Catholic College to the Catholic Education Commission. The college developed from the amalgamation of St Francis Xavier College (Marist Brothers) and St Joseph's School (Mercy Sisters). The Commission fosters the continuous development and improvement of Catholic schools, acts on behalf of the Catholic community and determines major policy.
In 2015, a second campus was built in the nearby suburb of Australind; commonly known as the Mercy campus. The campus name is derived from the Sisters of Mercy, who co-founded the school.[3] The Mercy Campus became independent in 2020, and split to form Our Lady of Mercy College.
