Welcome to Bunbury Catholic College

CDF Wardandi Gift

Hundreds of students from Catholic primary schools will meet on Bunbury Catholic College’s Albert Oval on May 9 for the running of the CDF Wardandi Gift feature race and a day of activities.

Catholic Development Fund has entered a partnership with Bunbury Catholic College to present the second CDF Wardandi Gift—a celebration of learning, cultural appreciation, and the rich heritage of the Aboriginal people.

We’re championing the importance of valuing Aboriginal culture and language within our schools, fostering inclusivity and understanding.

Students from Our Lady of Lourdes Dardanup, St Mary’s Bunbury, St Joseph’s Bunbury, St Mary’s Donnybrook and Djidi Djidi School will participate in a range of cultural activities associated with Aboriginal culture. The inaugural Wardandi Cup Relay in 2023 was won by St Mary’s Donnybrook.

For nearly six decades, CDF has provided support for Catholic institutions, nurturing their growth and empowering them to fulfill their mission. From building schools to enhancing healthcare and social services, we’ve been committed to fostering thriving communities rooted in faith and compassion.

But its mission extends far beyond individual partnerships, through an understanding that the needs of Catholic organisations often surpass the capabilities of traditional banking institutions. That’s why our values-based approach to lending, which combines financial expertise with dedication to Catholic principles, empowers Catholic organisations to put their faith into action, creating positive change in communities.

With CDF Community Fund, individuals also have the opportunity to invest in their community while securing a financial return. By supporting and growing services within the Catholic Community, your investment makes a tangible difference in the lives of millions, amplifying the reach of our collective efforts.

New BCC Logo for 2024

The launch of the new Bunbury Catholic College Crest took place on Feast Day—August 24 2023.

This crest is the result of an extensive process of design and ideas from staff, the Student Leadership Council and the College Advisory Council.

  • The Red M symbolises our commitment to the Marist charism. Red is one of the colours traditionally associated with Mary, especially Eastern iconography, and is often seen in the colour of her veil or cloak. The colour red is associated with love, humanity, witness, and the divinity of God.
  • The green in the base symbolises the Irish Mercy Sisters foundational role in our school’s journey. The Mercy Sisters established the first Catholic school in Bunbury in 1883, and Bunbury Catholic College was established in 1973 following the amalgamation of St Joseph’s Secondary School for Girls with St Francis Xavier College for boys which was established by the Marist Brothers in 1954. Green is a symbol of the earth, fertility, humanity, hope and life, and a reminder of the mission of the Church in the world.
  • The gold cross symbolises Jesus as being central to the faith of our school and our challenge to live according to the Gospel. The colour also symbolises hope, love, joy and the Glory of God.

Bunbury Catholic College acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on which the College is located, the Wardandi people of the Noongar Nation.
