Currently, the school has approximately 1,100 students enrolled across all campuses. The College is a member of Marist Schools Australia and is located in the Diocese of Sale. It is affiliated with Catholic Education Victoria and is a member of the Catholic All Schools Sports Association (CAS). In honour of St Marcellin Champagnat, the founder of the Marist brothers, each year the college awards Champagnat Medals to staff and students who demonstrate leadership and espouse the college motto "Strong Minds, Compassionate Hearts". HistoryThe college began in 1951 when the Presentation Sisters established their convent in Moe and began to teach students. Later, St. Paul's College was founded in 1956 on Grey St by the Marist Fathers as an all-boys school. The Marist Brothers assumed responsibility for the administration of St. Paul's in 1962. Also in that year, the Brigidine Sisters established the all-girls school, Kildare College, on the Kosciuszko Street site. Under the leadership of Br John McMahon, in 1979 a mini system of three schools was created: Kildare and St Paul's for Year 7-10 and a new senior campus, Lourdes College for Years 11 and 12. In 1979, after the Brigidine Sisters withdrew, the three colleges became one co-educational school called Catholic Regional College with Br Fons Van Rooij as principal. In 2001, Catholic Regional College amalgamated with Presentation College Newborough creating Lavalla Catholic College with the founding principal being Br Julian Casey. In 2005 the first lay principal was appointed, Ms Erica Pregorer. In October 2010 the college bid farewell to the Marist Brothers after 48 years service. The name Lavalla is a reference to La Valla-en-Gier, a French village that was the location of the first Marist school, opened in 1817. It is not known why the village's name was bastardised to Lavalla by the Australian school's leadership team.
