St Bede's College is an inclusive community, driven by its Lasallian and Catholic ethos. It is welcoming of students from diverse backgrounds and beliefs, which enriches the student experience.
The College opened in 1970 in association with the De La Salle Brothers as St James Regional College, in order to serve six Catholic parishes in a fast-growing area of suburban Melbourne, and moved from temporary accommodations to the first buildings on its present campus in 1971. By 1984, it was serving four Catholic additional parishes.[1] In early 2021, it became a campus of St Bede's College, Mentone, adopting its name and uniform.[2][3]
Some of the College's alumni have gone on to play in Australian sports such as Australian Rules Football.[4][5] St Peter's Church Bentleigh East used to host masses for the students at the College, but they are now held at the College's campus in Mentone.[6]
