Casimir Catholic College is an independent Roman Catholic comprehensive co-educational secondary day school, located in the Sydney suburb of Marrickville, New South Wales, Australia.

History

[edit]

Casimir catholic college was formed in 1983 from the merger of De La Salle College, a boys' school, and St Brigid's Girls' School, which had existed since the 1921s.[1] The founder of both schools was the parish priest Father Casimir Maguire, and so the amalgamated school took his name.

Philosophy

[edit]

The college adheres to the values and customs of the three orders involved in its history: the Good Samaritan Sisters, the De La Salle Brothers and the Passionist Fathers.[2] Casimir is located within a very multicultural area of Sydney and the school embraces the richness and diversity this brings to its culture.

[edit]

The college has strong links with its four feeder primary schools through the Marrickville District Catholic Schools Council. This structure supports a shared commitment to cooperate towards a complete K–12 perspective in the local educational community. Casimir is a great community that is a great catholic community.
