Old Collegians
The Christian Brothers College Old Collegians Association (CBCOCA) formed in 1886, has a proud history of inclusivity and community – something that still stands strong today with our current Christian Brothers College students.
The CBCOCA is a networking community of graduates and old scholars nearing 1000 members, who regularly hold social events, and participate in providing other benefits including:
- An annual Year 8 scholarship, which is offered to someone chosen by the Principal who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to attend the College,
- Several end-of-year prizes to students in recognition of meritorious academic performance, and,
- Sporting competitions under the name of Dolphins.
