Fostering Educational Excellence In A Christian Environment

November 26, 2021 by Maggi Barnard

Red Bend Catholic College fosters educational excellence within a Christian environment. Through our Marist charism, we engage minds, hearts and spirits, inspiring our students to live well-rounded, ethical lives of respect, service and compassion. The College community invigorates critical thinking and interdependent learning in our students.

Our students thrive in a safe environment which nurtures wellbeing and a sense of belonging. We promote Catholic values through our family atmosphere and community partnerships, where Jesus Christ is known and loved.

Principal’s Message

Red Bend Catholic College offers a Marist-inspired educational experience for boys

and girls from Years 7 to 12. As a Marist school, it aims to develop young people of character, integrity and compassion in becoming Good Christians and Good Citizens.

The nurturing learning environment at the College focuses on well-being, resilience, and care, with a deep belief that every student is capable of successful learning. The dynamic Red Bend staff develop professional relationships based on trust and connection with the students, families and carers.

Each student is valued as an individual and we strive to provide them with the best educational opportunities.

A diverse range of co-curricular and sporting activities are offered to enhance the students’ learning experiences and to develop their strengths, talents and character. With extensive facilities, the College is able to offer a range of sporting activities and co-curricular programs that engage the students and extend their experiences.

Students integrate life, faith and learning experiences through outreach service programs such as Meals on Wheels, Gardening for Seniors in the local community and Immersion opportunities.

Red Bend encourages all students to be audacious, digitally informed learners grasping every opportunity that comes their way in the hope that they will be game-changers and make a difference in the world and to those around them.

Mr Stephen Dwyer, Principal
