Through the provision of extensive educational opportunities, Parade College assists students to develop into well rounded individuals. As the first Edmund Rice School in Australia, established in 1871, Parade has been at the forefront of education. Our motto, “Tenete Traditiones”, translating as “Hold Fast to Traditions”, provides a firm foundation upon which we embrace our rich heritage whilst also continuing to be innovative.
For the first time in its long history, in 2025 Parade will welcome female students as part of an expansion of the College’s VCE Vocational Major program for Year 11 and 12 students at the Preston Campus. Specifically, our Tertiary Pathways Program includes the introduction of a Business Academy and an expansion of the Sport Academy program with both pathways offering direct entry access to La Trobe University without the requirement of an ATAR. Available undergraduate courses include Business, Sport and Recreation Management, Media and Communication, and Health Sciences.
Across our two campuses we are able to offer an extensive range of elective subjects and, at the senior levels, over 40 VCE subjects and 20 VET Certificates. Parade College is also a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), and the first school in Australia, and only one in Victoria, to offer the Manchester City Football School program. We strongly value partnerships with external organisations so that our students have every opportunity to fulfil their potential. These include La Trobe University, Manchester City Football Club, Melbourne City Soccer, Melbourne Indigenous Transition School, Northern Knights FC, Melbourne United Basketball, and Diamond Valley Basketball.
