St. Augustine's College was an Australian Roman Catholic secondary college in Yarraville, Victoria. It was opened in 1942, and manned and ran by the Congregation of Christian Brothers.
The school was particularly renowned in the city of Melbourne for the strength of its sporting teams, and the sportsmen it produced. For example, six members of the 1954 VFL premiership team (the Footscray Bulldogs) were old boys of St. Augustine's, including Doug Reynolds and Ted Whitten.[1]
The school was closed in 1972.
