Salesian College is a Roman Catholic Independent school for boys located in the Melbourne suburb of Chadstone that was established in 1957. Founded on the philosophies of Saint John Bosco, the college aims to offer a Salesian ideal of education.[1] Salesian comprises two campuses – Bosco (Years 7–8 & Years 10–12) being the school's main campus and Mannix (Year 9) catering solely for year 9s, due to their requirements and excursions as a year level.
