St Kevin's College, founded 1918, is a Catholic, all-boys primary and secondary school. The college is located in Toorak, Victoria, Australia. It has four campuses, three of which are in the suburb of Toorak; the fourth in Richmond. The school owned a campsite 'Silver Creek' in the town of Flowerdale which was completely destroyed by the Black Saturday bushfires. St. Kevin's was founded by the Christian Brothers. St Kevin's College is a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria.
St. Kevin's overlooks Gardiners Creek, a tributary that runs into the Yarra River, with Scotch College on the opposite side. The college has a long-standing tradition with the historic St. Patrick's Cathedral and is responsible for the choral voices.
St Kevin's is a school of the Archdiocese of Melbourne, and is directed by Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) and the Headmaster is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), and is a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS). and the IBSC (International Boys School Coalition).
The school was established in 1918 in East Melbourne by the Christian Brothers who set out to establish a strong tradition of high academic standards. St Kevin's was the matriculation centre for all of the Christian Brothers’ schools in Melbourne. With its early academic success, the enrolment soon outgrew its buildings in East Melbourne. In 1932, the school was moved to the corner of St George and Orrong Roads, Toorak. Property in Heyington was purchased and developed into playing fields. The Heyington Property is now the Senior School Campus, housing Years 7 to 8, and Years 10 through to year 12, in a vertical house system.
