WELCOME TO ST JAMES COLLEGE

St James Portrait St James College, Bentleigh East is a Regional Catholic Boys' College offering tuition to students from Year 7 to 10. Founded in 1970, the College caters for the needs of students living in the surrounding parishes. When space permits, enrolment is available to students from other suburbs. The present enrolment is 470 students.

The College embraces the charism of the De La Salle Brothers, a Community of Religious men founded in France by St John Baptist De La Salle for the education of the poor. The Brothers educational works are found in over 80 countries with 20 schools in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea being staffed by Brothers and their Lasallian Partners.

St James College is a smaller school with a strong pastoral care program and a close bond between students and staff. Our senior students are given the unique opportunity of exercising a leadership role. The Transition Program works with primary schools, De La Salle College, Malvern, St Bede’s College, Mentone and TAFE Colleges.

St James College is a member of the Southern Independent Schools Association, achieving significantly in academic, cultural, creative and sporting activities.
