Parent Experience

History

St Gregory's College is a private Catholic day and boarding school in Campbelltown, rooted in the Marist tradition. The college's history began in 1922 when the first community of Marist Brothers arrived to manage a home for boys pursuing life on the land, assisted by Mr Thomas Donovan and the St Vincent de Paul Society. On 3 February 1926 the first two students, Dick and Joe Cuskelly, began St Gregory's College. The foundation, with the initial principal Br Felix and later Br William Molloy, led to the college being registered as an agricultural high school in 1937 and the adoption of the motto Quae Seminaveris Metes, meaning You will reap what you sow. The Centenary celebrations occurred in 2026, reflecting the College's continued Marist Catholic tradition.
