Parade College has been educating boys for over 150 years and is the first Edmund Rice School in Australia. Our College proudly stands on the shoulders of those who have gone before us and led the way. While we have a very rich history, we are firmly future focused, providing a contemporary education to assist our young men to thrive in today’s world.

We offer an extensive range of elective subjects and, at the senior levels, over 40 VCE subjects and 20 different VET Certificates. We strongly value partnerships with external organisations so that our students have every opportunity to fulfill their potential.

Parade College partners with Mercy College in Coburg to produce our annual Drama Production and has a new partnership commencing in 2024 with Santa Maria College in Northcote which will lead to increased VET Certificate offerings at our Preston Campus and working together on a Musical Production. We have direct entry arrangements with La Trobe University for students in the Senior Sport Academy program for Bachelor Courses in Business and Sport Science. We also have partnerships with Diamond Valley Basketball, Manchester City Football Club, Melbourne City Soccer, Melbourne Indigenous Transition School, Melbourne United and the Northern Knights.
