St Kevin's College, Toorak (Melbourne) AU

In founding the College in 1918 the Christian Brothers set out to establish a strong tradition of high academic standards. St Kevin’s was the Matriculation centre for all the Brothers’ schools in Melbourne. With its early academic success, the enrolment soon outgrew its buildings in East Melbourne and so the College moved to Toorak in 1932. Here it grew to a full primary and secondary school.

When the Associated Public Schools of Victoria enlarged its number in 1957, St Kevin’s was invited to membership. In the APS, College teams take part in a competition providing a wide range of sports at different levels of achievement. Hence, all boys have a splendid opportunity to represent their school, develop team spirit, and make acquaintances at other schools.

In recent years much development has occurred at the senior campus, Heyington, while the modern Junior School, Glendalough, has been renewed. Most recently a dedicated campus for Year 9 students, Waterford, has been established on Richmond Hill on the site of the former Vaucluse College.

In partnership with Loreto Mandeville Hall and St Peter’s Parish of Toorak, an Early Learning Centre has most recently been opened as an excellent venue for the beginning of the educational journey of 3 and 4 year olds.

The College has grown to 1800 students ranging from Early Learning Centre to Year 12. St Kevin’s is a leading Catholic school with a national reputation, a successful member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria, and a proud member of the Australia-wide network of Edmund Rice Schools.
