College Overview

Mazenod College is a Catholic Boys' College served by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate working in partnership with MACS (Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools). It was established in 1967 temporarily at St Joseph's Primary School, Springvale and in 1968 moved to its present site in Mulgrave.

Mazenod College was established in response to the need for a Catholic boys' secondary College by the Parish Priests of Springvale, Springvale North, Clayton, Glen Waverley and later, Mulgrave. Through their vision, Oblate Service, commitment, and the support of local parishioners, Mazenod College was born.

Since its beginning, Mazenod College has been under the care of a religious community of priests and brothers from the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.

Mazenod College has always been a partnership between the original five founding parishes, local families, students and Old Collegians, Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) and the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate In 2019 the announcement was made of the appointment of the first lay Principal to Mazenod College.

The Australian Province of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate remains committed to our Education Ministry under the guidance of a lay principal and an Oblate priest as Rector, ensuring the Oblates maintain a meaningful and sustainable presence of service in Mazenod College.

The Oblates will continue to have an active presence in the leadership and pastoral aspects of Mazenod College into the future.

Mazenod College operates with an Advisory Council chaired by a lay chairperson with both clerical and lay representatives from the five constituent Parishes.

The Council also comprises delegates from Mazenod College's parent organisations, the Mazenod College Business Manager, staff representatives, and Oblates.

Mazenod College is proud of its fine multicultural heritage, where members come from a wide variety of different cultural backgrounds. This heritage is valued and treasured at Mazenod College.
