Christian Brothers College Fremantle (CBC) is a private, Catholic, day school for boys situated in Fremantle, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. It caters for students from Years 7–12.
The school traces its origins back to 1901, when it was established by the members of the religious order of the Christian Brothers.
Since its foundation, the school has been located on its current Ellen Street site, in the coastal community surrounding Fremantle. The campus consists of a Junior School (Years 7–10), Senior School (Years 11–12), performing arts, sporting grounds and gymnasium.
CBC Fremantle is associated with Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) and has been a member of the Associated & Catholic Colleges of Western Australia (ACC) since its inception in 1937.
The College doesn't have an official sister school, but maintains good relations with both Iona Presentation College located in Mosman Park and Santa Maria College in Attadale.
The school's first building was opened in 1882 on High St in the port town of Fremantle under the name Fremantle Catholic Boys' School in a building still standing on school grounds, Edmund Hall. However this building was only constructed because the school had out grown St Patricks Presbytery where it had been started. The single storey building was designed by a former Fenian convict, Joseph Nunan, an architect by profession who drew up the plans for the new school and it was built using limestone. The foundation stone of Edmunds Hall was laid on 26 January 1882. The new school began with an enrolment of thirty primary-aged boys under the management of Mr Otto De Grancy. It opened on 14 November 1883.
