Christian Brothers schools in South Australia
CBC • RostrevorSt. Paul's

Christian Brothers College (CBC) is a private Catholic school in Adelaide, South Australia. It was founded by a group of Irish Christian Brothers in 1878. It is now one of three Christian Brothers schools in the state, along with St Paul's College, Adelaide and Rostrevor College.[2] Like the other colleges, the influence of the original Christian Brothers has waned, and it is now administered by EREA. The last brother left the school in 2007.

CBC is predominantly a secondary school, although it has a primary school campus, with a combined student population of approximately 970 (as of 2024).[3]
