As a long-standing Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition, Parade College is a vibrant learning community offering contemporary education and pastoral care to foster holistic growth and excellence for all. With world class facilities, specialist sport development and academic programs, Parade College is positioned to help each student reach their fullest potential.

In addition to being the first school in Australia to offer the Manchester City Football School program, we also offer a successful Sport Academy program designed for students in elite sport programs or interested in pursuing a career in sport. It provides an opportunity to extend students in the High-Performance Stream who choose a VCE Vocational Major pathway in the senior years and wish to continue focusing on careers in the sport industry. The Sport Academy runs at both the Bundoora and Preston Campus, with the Preston Campus program being co-educational. Upon successful graduation from Parade, Sport Academy graduates can gain Certificate level qualifications and, through a unique partnership with La Trobe University, can gain direct access into a number of undergraduate courses in Media and Communications, Health Science and Business.
