Parade College, Bundoora, Victoria, is an Australian Roman Catholic all-boys high school, run under the auspices of the Congregation of Christian Brothers.
[edit] History
Founded in 1871 on Victoria Parade in East Melbourne (hence 'Parade'). Increasing enrolments at the school necessitated movement to new sites at Alphington in 1953, and the present Bundoora site in 1968.
The College has the distinction of having hosted the first two Edmund Rice Camps in January 1981.
Parade has added a new theatre, and has plans for a swimming pool to go along with the 2004 addition of the College hall.
