Christian Brothers College Fremantle is an Independent Catholic secondary school for young men, located in Ellen Street site, in the coastal community surrounding Fremantle, Western Australia. The school traces its origins back to 1882, and in 1901 management responsibility was assigned to members of the religious order of the Christian Brothers. Teaching students in the tradition of Edmund Rice, the college caters for day students from Years 7 to 12, however in the past it was technically all ages.[further explanation needed]

Christian Brothers College (CBC) is associated with Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA)[1] and has been a member of the Associated & Catholic Colleges of Western Australia (ACC)[2] since its inception in 1937.

The college does not have an official sister school, but maintains good relations with both Iona Presentation College located in Mosman Park and Santa Maria College in Attadale.[citation needed]
