History

Servites came to Australia in late 1951 and by 1958 had established St. Philip’s Regional High School for Boys in Tuart Hill.  In the early 70’s the name was changed to Servite College and it became co-educational.  Fr. Liam Mackle, O.S.M. was the last of the friar-principals.  Laymen who have followed in his steps, in the meantime preserving the special charisms that are uniquely Servite, have been: Jack Shanahan, Barry Harvey, Michael Kenny and now Philip Cox. 

The years have also witnessed physical expansion of the college.  A student from the earliest days would hardly recognize the place.  Information Technology is prominent; the Seven Founders Centre gym and auditorium are the pride of the school.  A state-of-the -art science block is the most recent addition.
