About Us

Red Bend Catholic College is a co-educational day and boarding school situated in Forbes, in the Central West region of NSW.  The College was formed in 1977, when three Catholic schools in the region were combined to form one co-educational High School. This merger brought together the great teaching traditions of the Mercy Sisters and the Marist Brothers.

The College aspires to create an environment which enables students to develop spiritually, intellectually, physically, culturally and socially. Through our Marist charism, we engage minds, hearts and spirits, inspiring our students to live well-rounded, ethical lives of respect, service and compassion.

The College educates around 900 students; offers 180 boarding places; and employs around 185 teaching and support staff.
