Why choose us?
At St John Bosco College Engadine, we hold strongly to our founder’s beliefs that ‘education is a matter of the heart’ that leads our young people to ‘know that they are loved’.
We value each individual student and work with their innate gifts and strengths, developing their confidence and self-esteem to become self-directed, resilient and responsible learners. Collaborative and supportive relationships with teachers provide students with a sense of ownership over their learning, creating in them the desire to strive, serve and succeed.
Principal’s Message
History
St John Bosco College is a coeducational secondary school which operates in the traditions of Don Bosco. Today, we have a student population of over 900 students from Years 7–12 being educated in the Salesian Tradition from the nearby Engadine, Heathcote and Helensburgh areas.
Founded in 1978 as St John Bosco High School for Years 7–10, the school changed its name to St John Bosco College and extended its enrolment to incorporate Years 11–12 students in 1998.
Our Mission
Educational Excellence in a Caring Environment, emphasises the college’s commitment to the pursuit of academic excellence and to the provision of quality pastoral care.
Our college is a proud and important component of the parish of St John Bosco, Engadine. The college was established through the vision and dedication of the Salesian Religious and parishioners in Engadine.
The Rector of the Salesian Community, Fr Peter Hoang, is also our college chaplain. He provides ongoing sacramental opportunities, including the weekly Wednesday morning Mass, for staff and students, and contributes significantly to the delivery of Religious Education and Retreat programs.
The parish priest, Fr Michael Court, works closely with the college to ensure that all members of the community have access to faith formation opportunities, and that the strong bond between parish and college is maintained and enhanced.

Learning and Wellbeing
Welcome to the St John Bosco College Learning Approach – represented by two frameworks – learning and wellbeing. Combined, these form a powerful representation of education at Bosco College, demonstrating the interconnectedness of learning and wellbeing. Separately, each framework guides our College community and provides insight into what underpins the unique culture of our College.
