Christian Brothers College (CBC) is a private Catholic school in the centre of Adelaide, South Australia. It was founded by a group of Irish Christian Brothers in 1878, and it is now one of three Christian Brothers schools in the state.
CBC is predominantly a secondary school, although it has a primary school campus, and now includes a community childcare centre, with a combined student population of approximately 1135 (2013).
CBC has had a long-standing sporting rivalry with Blackfriars. Similar to the Saints and Princes sporting rivalry, Intercollegiate Competitions between the two have become known as "The Intercol", and are significant events on those school's calendars.
The school is proud of its Australian Rules Football history and traditions. It produced a number of Magarey Medallists in the early South Australian National Football League (SANFL) years:
Other prominent SANFL footballers produced by the school have included: John Cahill (Port Adelaide Football Club), Laurie Cahill (South Adelaide), Matt Clingly (West Torrens Football Club), B.Ploenges (S.A), D.Panizza (S.A), J.Taylor (W.A), J.Scanlon (Nwd), P.Schwarz (W.T), J.Hanley (Glenelg Football Club), S.Costello (W.A), J.F.Scanlon (W.A), C.C.Daly (Norwood Football Club)Robert (Bob) Higgins (West Adelaide Football Club).
