Catherine McAuley College

Catherine McAuley College operates across two distinct campuses in Bendigo, with Coolock serving years 7-9 and St Mary's accommodating years 10-12.

The educational institution, established in 1876 under the Sisters of Mercy governance, underwent a name change from Catholic College Bendigo in 2018.

The institution maintains connections with the Djaara people, recognizing their role as Traditional Custodians of the land where the college stands.

The school implements a vertical house group system at the Coolock campus, enabling students from different year levels to work together effectively.

The college features six houses named Backhaus, Champagnat, Jaara, MacKillop, McAuley, and Vincent, each contributing to student engagement and community structure.
