Salesian College is a Roman Catholic Independent school for boys located in the Melbourne suburb of Chadstone. Founded on the philosophies of Saint John Bosco, the college aims to offer a Salesian ideal of education.[1] Salesian comprises two campuses – Bosco (Years 7–8 & Years 10–12) being the school's main campus and Mannix (Year 9) catering solely for one year level. The reason for this is because of all the camps and student experiences in the Mannix campus (Year 9).
Salesian is a member of the Associated Catholic Colleges.
