Mazenod College | Mulgrave
College Overview Mazenod College is a Catholic Boys' College served by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate working in partnership with the Archdiocese of Melbourne. It was established in 1967 temporarily at St Joseph's Primary School, Springvale and in 1968 moved to its present site in Mulgrave.
The 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 Boys, Catholic Education Office Melbourne and the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. In 2019 the announcement was made of the appointment of a lay Principal to Mazenod College.
The Australian Province remains committed to our Education Ministry under the guidance of a Lay Principal and an Oblate Priest as Rector, ensuring the Oblates are able to maintain a meaningful and sustainable presence of service in the college.
The Oblates will continue to have an active presence in the Leadership and Pastoral aspects of the college into the future.
Mazenod operates with a College Board chaired by a lay Chairperson with both clerical and lay representatives from the five constituent Parishes.
The Board also comprises delegates from the College's Parent Organisations, the College Business Manager, Staff Representatives, and Oblates.
The 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 the college.
