The college was founded in 1918, and is located in Toorak, Victoria, Australia. It has five campuses, three of which are in the suburb of Toorak; the fourth in Richmond, and the fifth being a sport campus located behind Stockland Tooronga. The school owned a campsite 'Silver Creek' in the town of Flowerdale which was completely destroyed by the Black Saturday bushfires. St Kevin's was founded by the Christian Brothers and is a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria. St Kevin's overlooks Gardiners Creek, a tributary that runs into the Yarra River, with Scotch College on the opposite side. The college has a long-standing tradition with the historic St. Patrick's Cathedral and is responsible for educating their choirboys.[1] St Kevin's is a school of the Archdiocese of Melbourne,[2] and is directed by Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA)[3] and the Headmaster is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[4] and is a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS).[5] and the IBSC (International Boys School Coalition). History{{Unreferenced section|date=July 2011}}The school was established in 1918 in East Melbourne by the Christian Brothers. In 1932, the school was moved to the corner of St George and Orrong Roads, Toorak. Property in Heyington was purchased and developed into playing fields. The Heyington Property is now the Senior School Campus, housing Years 7 to 8, and Years 10 through to year 12, in a vertical house system. The Heyington Campus was built in 1960, notably the Kearney Building, which is visible on the approach from the Glen Waverley railway line. The Lansell Road property was opened in 1972, and that same year the Orrong road property was sold. In 1982, the K.C. Smith building was constructed for the middle school years on the Senior Campus, and in 1990 the Pavilion was opened. Since its opening, the Pavilion has flooded twice, both in 2005. Ovals one and two were completely submerged, resembling flooded school foyers in the 1970s. The Cummins Building was refurbished in 1997, and currently houses the creative arts precinct, which includes arts, drama, music and artistic works. The McCarthy Building was opened in 1997, housing Art Studios, the Campus Library and the Administration Block. The Lansell Road property is now home to the Glendalough Campus, and in 1999 became a full primary school, housing prep to grade 6 students. Also in 1999, Year 9 students moved from the Senior Campus to a dedicated campus named Waterford in Richmond. Waterford currently resides in the former Vaucluse College FCJ site in Richmond. 1999 saw a major change in the structure of the school, with the introduction of the House System for years 10-12. This saw the desegregation of year levels and their amalgamation into houses with five tutor groups comprising Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12 boys, accompanied by a tutor. Previously, boys were organised by year levels, and supervised by Year Level Coordinators, somewhat similar to the current system found in the Middle School (Years 7-9).[6] In March 2006, a $16 million indoor pool, gym and sports facility, the Wilding Centre, was blessed by Cardinal George Pell and opened for the students. In 2009 the Godfrey building was opened. In 2010, the Boyd Egan Hall was opened at Glendalough and substantial floods filled the school's ovals and damaged the Fraser tennis courts. In 2011, work began on a three storey 14 million dollar Science Wing, located adjacent to Heyington railway station at the end of the Kearney Building. In 2013, the Kearney West building was officially opened. The building contains brand new science labs, chemistry labs and woodwork rooms, which are used for senior classes. In 2014, the McMahon Music Centre was opened at Glendalough and the remaining laboratories in the Kearney building were refurbished. Music and Drama facilities in the Cummins building were modernised. In 2017, the Tooronga Fields campus were opened as the SKC offsite sports ground.[7] The Houses are Cusack (Green); Kearney (Blue); Kenny (Red); McCarthy (Light Blue); Purton (Gold); Rahill (Maroon). Campuses{{unsourced|section|date=June 2018}}St Kevin's College has five campuses:
HousesThe Houses for the Senior (10-12) and Middle School (7-9) are named after Christian Brothers associated with the College. They are:
The original 'Foundation' Houses are Cusack, Kearney, Kenny and Purton. These Houses are located in their original areas in the Kearney Building. The 'Extension' Houses are McCarthy and Rahill, added to extend the capacity of the House system in their years of establishment. McCarthy House occupies the former Brothers' Quarters in the Cummins Building, above the staff room and the Music and Drama Faculty. Rahill House occupies a purpose built area in the Godfrey Building, above the Art Faculty and below the College Administration Offices. Boys are assigned their house at their entry point into the Senior school, however during Years 7-9, they primarily serve as a means of organisation for co-curricular competitions such as House Swimming, House Athletics and House Sports. PublicationsThe College has a strong tradition of journalism and reporting that carries on to this day. The English curriculum at St. Kevin's allows for boys to develop their skills in the communication of ideas in English and is put into practice through the numerous publications that can be found in the College, each of which is aimed towards a certain audience, and has its own individual purpose.
Previously, there was a student run magazine, 'The Kevinian', however this publication is now defunct and no more new issues of it are being published. This magazine was a student initiative run by students, for students, with support from the College. Established in 2017 by then Year 11 student Vincentius Susilo, Kearney Magazine has filled in the place of this magazine, serving as the unofficial magazine for the student body, still run by students, for students.[6][8] CurriculumSt Kevin's College offers its Years 11 and 12 students the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), the main assessment program which ranks the students in the state. The class of 2009 have been highest-performing academic group in the history of the modern VCE for St Kevin's College, making St Kevin's in 2009 the top-performing, non-selective, all boys, Catholic and Associated Public Schools of Victoria member school, with 33 per cent of study scores at 40 or over, and 14 perfect scores were achieved across 10 subjects.[9][10][11] Co-curriculum{{moresources|section|date=November 2017}}As part of upholding the value of "fullness of life" of the College, a number of initiatives are conducted: Debating and public speakingSt Kevin's competes in the Debaters Association of Victoria Schools competition, and the Heyington Campus is the host venue for the Toorak regional competition. Five debates are held each year, and St Kevin's teams debate against other Melbourne schools on various current interest topics. St Kevin's participates in a range of other debating and public speaking tournaments, including those organised by Rotary, the RSL, UNYA and as of 2011, the WIDPSC, with one student competing representing Australia, and recording 8th place.[12] SportSt Kevin's College is a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria, the College teams take part in a competition providing a wide range of sports at different levels of achievement. In 2009 the College won the Soccer, Australian Rules Football and Rugby premierships – a feat never been achieved before in APS sporting history. Theatre and dramaSt Kevin's has a theatre department and each year produces a wide range of Plays, Musicals and Operas. A relationship between several different girls' schools has been established to enhance the co-curricular dramatic arts program. AviationSt Kevin's College offers an aviation program to its students, and is the only secondary school in Australia to offer students the opportunity to earn a pilot's licence by the time they graduate.[13] The program has been commended by aviators and industry experts, including Nancy Bird Walton.[14] Coat of arms, crest and mottoThe current school crest was adopted by Br Kearney in 1933. The school crest bears:
The school's motto is, in Latin, 'Omnia Pro Deo' meaning 'All for God' or transliterated means 'All things for God'. This is taken from a letter of St Paul. TouchstonesAs a member school of Edmund Rice Education Australia, St. Kevin's has adopted the following touchstones which can be found on display around the several campuses and on the inside covers of school diaries. The touchstones are:
These touchstones have also been adopted by other Edmund Rice Education Australia schools in a similar fashion to how St. Kevin's has.[15][16] Relationship with other schoolsSt Kevin's College has a long-standing tradition with Loreto Mandeville Hall with whom it established an ELC Centre, St Peter's. The College also has a strong establishment with fellow independent schools Korowa Anglican Girls' School, Sacré Cœur School, Genazzano FCJ College and St Catherine's School, Toorak.{{cn|date=June 2018}} Year 9 Collaborative ProgramSt. Kevin's, in partnership with Loreto Mandeville Hall and Sacré Cœur School, hold a two-day extra-curricular program where Year 9 students are paired with either sister schools and undertake various activities over the two days. The program leads into the Year 9 Social, held at the Waterford Year 9 campus, and is a highlight in the campus calendar for the year. Year 10 Dancing ProgramSt. Kevin's, in partnership with Loreto Mandeville Hall (for one semester), Sacré Cœur School and Korowa Anglican Girls' School (shared in alternate semester), hold a semester-long dancing program where Year 10 students participate in after-school dancing lessons with focus on various styles of dancing. The program concludes with a social at the conclusion of the semester.
