St Kevin's College is a private Catholic primary and secondary school for boys located in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The college has three campuses, two of which are in the suburb of Toorak, the third in [[Richmond, Victoria|Richmond]. The school also has playing fields located behind Stockland Tooronga. The school formally owned a campsite 'Silver Creek' in the town of Flowerdale which was completely destroyed by the Black Saturday bushfires. [1] [2]

St Kevin's was founded in 1918 by the Christian Brothers and is a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria. St Kevin's overlooks Gardiners Creek, a tributary that runs into the Yarra River, with Scotch College on the opposite side. The college has a long-standing tradition with the historic St. Patrick's Cathedral and is responsible for educating their choir boys.[3]

The Archdiocese of Melbourne provides oversight of St Kevin's,[4] and its administration is directed by Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA),[5] and is a member of both the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS)[6] and the International Boys' Schools Coalition (IBSC).
