St. Augustine's College was an Australian Roman Catholic secondary college in Yarraville, Victoria. Also known as Christian Brothers' College, Yarraville, the school for boys opened in 1942, closed in 1972, and was operated by the Congregation of Christian Brothers. == History == The school owes its early beginnings to the opening of St. Augustine's primary school in 1896 by the Sisters of St. Joseph. The nuns and their assistants taught mixed classes of boys and girls and it was not until much later that classes were strictly segregated. In 1941 a separate girls school was opened within the parish complex〔St Augustine's Primary School - History (webpage) Retrieved on 26 November, 2015 from http://www.sayarraville.catholic.edu.au/page/58/History〕 and the need to cater for the boys became obvious and so in 1942 the Christian Brothers took charge of the boys classes. In 1946 the school enrolment stood at 240 boys in Grades 5 to 8, also known as Proficiency.〔 〕The following year the school added a First Year Intermediate class to its curriculum. The names of some of the early headmasters include Br. H. Boylan, Br. E. S. Crowle (1946 - 1952) and Br. R. McCartney.A new residence was opened for the Brothers n Somerville Road in March 1949 but up until that time they trevelled from the Brothers community at St. Joseph's North Melbourne The Christian Brothers' college closed in 1972, later to be reopened as an extension of St. Augustines Primary school. Following the withdrawal of the Brothers, the Avoca Street Campus was taken over by the Sisters of St Joseph who proceeded to operate the site as an extension of their Altona West school, Mount St. Joseph Girls' College. The handball courts and the ground floor class rooms of the other site were incorporated into the St Augustine's Primary School which had continued its operation on an adjoining site. The upstairs classrooms were incorporated into Mount St Joseph's campus. Following a review by the Sisters of St Joseph in 1975 it was decided that the campus was superfluous to their needs and this led to the opening of Yarraville Catholic Girls College which was operated by the parish of St Augustine's under the Canonical Administrator Fr. Nazzareno Fasciale. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Augustine's College, Yarraville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
