ST.BERNARDS OLD COLLEGIANS ASSOCIATION

The Association as we know it today, was incorporated in 2000 and has become the overseeing body of all its affiliates. The Association itself has been in existence since 1952, but due to circumstances, the Association went into recess between 1974 and 1994. It has since been re-established and has grown strongly with a strong emphasis on providing more opportunities for its members.
The Old Collegians’ Association has also begun to expand and we now have a Sydney branch that meets every 2 years and we have recently established a Perth branch which had its first reunion in September 2004. The Association is committed to ensuring that all Old Collegians have an avenue, wherever they are in the world, to touch base with their former School. It is hoped that in the future the Old Collegians can develop internationally.

Affiliated societies of the St. Bernard’s Old Collegians’ Association include a wide-ranging array of sporting clubs, and the Association also has provided assistance to Old Boy businesses through the publication of the annual Business Directory.

ST.BERNARDS OLD COLLEGIANS FOOTBALL CLUB

In 1961 St Bernards was a very small school of less than 300 students but against the odds managed to win the ACC 1st XV111 football competition and from that fledgling beginning the seeds of a great club were sewn. Today St Bernards has grown to become one of the biggest football clubs in the State with over 700 registered players from our Auskick program to seniors.
Both the football and cricket club have long shared similar looking player lists, with players dedicated to both clubs. 
With the football club back in A Grade both clubs will be looking for an assault on the top honour in their respective leagues.
