CHAMPAGNAT CATHOLIC COLLEGE
A new name, new beginning in the
Marist Tradition
The exciting and bold proposal to become Champagnat Catholic
College Pagewood captures the very essence of the dynamism and
growth permeating our new educational landscape. Changing the
name to Champagnat Catholic College proclaims a new beginning,
a new era of education here at Pagewood that builds on and
celebrates the successes of the past and captures the innovation,
creativity and excitement of the future. The name change is a
signal to the community that our new model of learning, wellbeing
and ministry will ensure the best possible outcome for our youth
as we walk with them to navigate the journey ahead.

enliven our community with a new way, a new pathway of hope

growth and sustainability for generations to come.
