Christian Brothers schools in South Australia CBC • Rostrevor • St. Paul's |
St Paul's College is a Catholic primary and secondary school founded in 1958, located in Gilles Plains, in the north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. One of three schools founded and formerly run in SA by the Christian Brothers, the school has been a member of EREA since 2007. [2]
The school was founded by the Christian Brothers in 1958 as an all-boys Catholic school for Years 5–11 administrated by the Brothers, in the largely agricultural area of Gilles Plains, then known as 'Strathmont'. [3] This was done following the closure of the Christian Brothers' school St Laurence's Primary in Ovingham, South Australia. The school opened in February 1959 for students in years 5-8, and the full year 5-11 cohort was established in 1962. Originally, students were drawn primarily from the parishes of Walkerville, Kilburn, Clearview, Enfield and Hillcrest. Enrolments later surged after private and Housing Trust development occurred in the area, namely in the suburbs of Valley View, Ingle Farm, Modbury, Dernancourt and Surrey Downs. Many Christian Brothers resided at the college, though lay staff were employed at the school from day one. A gradual decline in membership of the Christian Brothers occurred from the 1970s, and the last brother left the school in 2006. After the restructuring of Christian Brothers' organisations in October 2007, the school is now a member of Edmund Rice Education Australia. [4]
In 1973, Year 12 was introduced to the school to ease local demand, with students previously travelling to Rostrevor College, Christian Brothers College, or government high schools. [5] This was done in conjunction with Mt. Carmel College (Rosewater), who did not offer Year 12, making the senior school co-educational. This was done with the assistance of the Sisters of St Joseph. Kildare College (Holden Hill) joined this arrangement in 1975. This particular arrangement ceased in 1984, when both girls schools introduced their own Year 12 cohorts; however, St Paul's continued offering Year 12 for girls until 1996. In 1997, the senior school as a distinct structure was established, with vertically-structured cross-year homegroups being created, along with the new house system. In 2007, the partnership with Kildare College was rekindled, with students completing Year 11 & 12 SACE specialist subjects studying between the two campuses. [6] This arrangement ended in 2020.
During 2013-17, the school introduced the lower primary years, with a full R-12 cohort being established in 2017. [7] In 2022, the school became coeducational for years R-8, with the full co-educational cohort being established by 2026. [8] This adds to the long history of partial co-education at St Paul's, beginning in 1973.
Since 1984, the College Board has overseen administrative decisions in the school. The school has specialty facilities for arts, music, ICT and technology, as well as offering over 40 subjects. [4]
Students are enrolled into the following houses:
Each year, students over Year 4 participate in a camp. These range from Adelaide Zoo to a mountain biking expedition, where students bring and cook their own meals. [10]
