Casimir Catholic College

Casimir Catholic College is named after the great builder of the Marrickville parish, Father Casimir Maguire, who was Parish Priest from 1917 to 1949. After the completion of the magnificent Church of St Brigids in 1930, Father Casimir set about the construction of the school buildings which serve as the major classroom blocks of the present high s... chool. St Brigid's School was originally established by the Sisters of The Good Samaritan in nearby Despointes Street in the 1880s. With the completion of the new building in 1932, the Sisters were invited to move to the Livingstone Road site. At the same time Father Casimir also invited the De La Salle Brothers to staff the new school jointly with the sisters. Then in 1938 a second building was completed which became the site of De La Salle College. The two schools existed side by side until 1981, when a decision was made to amalgamate the schools into a new co-educational Year 7 to 12 College. In 1983 the new school was born and was named Casimir Catholic College. During 1985 and 1986 a further building project was undertaken which resulted in a series of new modern facilities and more open space.Read More
