Welcome to your son and your family.

Our College is a place where the founding philosophies of Saint John Bosco are followed to provide your son with the Salesian ideal of education, encompassing the growth of the whole person - socially skilled and academically sound, with well rounded sporting, artistic and technical capabilities.

Salesian College is once again extremely proud of the VCE results achieved by the Class of 2007.

“ I congratulate all of the Year 12 students who worked so diligently and deservedly for the results they have attained. These excellent results are a product of the close links between the teaching staff, parents and students. These students are now well- rounded young men able to meet the challenges of life and to continue on their own   “Journey of Excellence”."

One special characteristic of our school is that the boys here are so obviously happy together - and this positive, safe learning environment is the foundation that sets them on their Journey of Excellence.

St. John Bosco, the founder of the Salesians, used to say to his students, "What I want is your happiness: now, tomorrow and forever." St. John Bosco's approach was to create a naturally happy environment in which to encourage excellence.

Happiness is "now", at the very beginning of the Journey of Excellence! Our teachers are professionals in boys' education and will engage your son in every manner of worthwhile activity and foster in him the belief that he can develop and reach achievable goals. Numeracy and literacy skills are the focus of his first years at the College as these provide the basic grounding for future achievement.

Happiness "tomorrow" is the knowledge that your son is able to learn and find direction in a safe and caring environment. The staff are a friendly presence amongst the students, this helps prevent negative influences. Students in all levels have access to counselling for career, academic and personal situations.

"Forever" is the continuation of the Journey. We tell our boys about God here. So, secure in the knowledge of God's love for them, they face the journey of life with confidence.
