The College was established in 1984 by merging the Christian Brothers' College for Boys and the Loyola College for Girls. The school's current principal is Dan McMahon. To date, there are an estimated 1400 students enrolled at the school, including approximately 180 staff members.[1] CampusThe main campus is set amongst thirteen hectares (34 acres) of bushland off of Fitzgerald Street, Bundaberg. Shalom is not a selective school. While it is a Catholic school, it welcomes students of other faiths. Low fees are charged so as to not exclude prospective students. Entrance examinations are not a basis for selection. However, the school does require parents to agree to actively support its religious education programme and Christian ethos. Shalom College's Chaverim campus of eighty-five hectares (209 acres) is located at South Bingera, twenty-three kilometres (14 miles) south-west of Bundaberg. All students are given the opportunity to use its facilities for camps and are offered various activities such as canoeing, rock-climbing or archery. The land on which the school is built was donated by Walter Adams. Mr Adams is buried in the Catholic cemetery, adjacent to the school grounds on Fitzgerald Street. The college sporting house "Adams" was named for Adams in recognition and appreciation of his generosity. Sporting HousesThe sport houses are as follows:[2]
SportsAt Shalom a wide range of sports and extra-curricular activities are offered. These activities include; Soccer, Basketball, Softball, Netball, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Rowing, Surfing and Tenpin Bowling. Shalom Catholic College is also strongly represented in the region in events such as track and field, swimming and cross country running. However, three of the most noteworthy extra long curricular activities offered at Shalom are robotics, aero modeling and competitive computer gaming. These three activities set Shalom apart from all other schools in the region and result in many school children being involved in sport of some capacity at Shalom. House CaptaincyAt Shalom College each House has two house captains: traditionally one male and one female. This has been the case since the foundation of Shalom College. However, due to a tie in the votes for male captaincy in Chisholm in 2016, there were two Male house captains that year. The Male House captains were, incidentally, twin brothers. In addition, two female house captains were elected for Adams in 2019 as there were no boys who volunteered for house captaincy that year. Alumni
Other notable peopleBrother Gordon Rochford is a Christian brother who was with the school from its establishment in 1984 until his retirement in 2018. During his time, he would greet students daily as they came into the school. In addition, he would also appear at many school activities and events to take photos and deliver bookmarks to students celebrating birthdays. Robin Wust was an assistant principal as well as the former house coordinator of Chisholm who died by suicide on 16 April, 2018. Following his death, tributes were made from students and staff members commemorating his time at the school. Principal Dan McMahon stated in an interview "Robin [Wust] was a much-loved and respected member of staff and our students held him in the highest regard as a teacher, a coach and as a person".
