[edit] History

[edit] Building history

Mazenod College was founded in 1967 in St. Joseph School in Springvale, Victoria to serve the Parishes of Springvale, Clayton, Springvale North and Glen Waverley. Due to no government funding, the school was in a tight financial position which lasted for six years. In the first year, there was 79 students and two teachers. Mazenod stayed at St Joseph's until Tuesday, 22nd April 1968 when it moved into the first stage of its present building - two classrooms just beyond the office section.

In 1969 the two science rooms beyond the second stairs were added and in 1971 further (much needed) classrooms. Further extensions were the library / canteen in 1974, the penthouse block in 1975, the administration block in 1978 and the chapel in 1983.

The college expanded to the other side of Kernot Avenue in 1984 when the Manual and Fine Arts Complex was opened. The present school library was built in 1987 when, with the addition of a lecture theatre and Year 12 complex, the O'Rourke Wing opened. Finally, a new staff and conference room was added in 1992 to cater for the needs of an expanding staff and use of school facilities.
