Simonds Catholic College is a Roman Catholic school for boys located in Melbourne. The school consists of two campuses. The St Mary's campus (years 7-10) is in West Melbourne and is within walking distance of the Queen Victoria Market. The St Brigid's campus (Years 11-12) is in Fitzroy North. The college is an associate member of the Associated Catholic Colleges.
In 2008 the school received a $15,000 grant for solar panels from the Victorian Government. Minister for Environment and Climate Change, Gavin Jennings visited the school on 8 February 2008 to present the award.[1][2]
History
Simonds was formed in 1996 through the amalgamation of Cathedral College, East Melbourne and St Mary's Boys School. In 2010, the former St Brigid's Primary School in North Fitzroy was renovated, and a new senior campus of the college was opened there.
