St John Bosco College, Engadine

St John Bosco College is an independent systemic Roman Catholic co-educational secondary day school, located in Engadine, a southern suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The college was founded in 1978 under the name St John Bosco High School.

St John Bosco High School was originally founded in 1978 at the initiative of the parishioners of St John Bosco Parish, Engadine, as a systemic Years 7 - 10 school under the administration of the Salesians of Don Bosco. The school was built after many years of planning and effort by the Parish Priest, John Briffa SDB, and a group of parishioners. The school's name was changed to St John Bosco College in 1998 when the first Year 11 students were enrolled. The first class to graduate from St John Bosco College was in 1999.

The patron of the College is Saint John Bosco, an Italian saint from the 1800s who modelled his teaching methods on the practices of Saint Francis de Sales (therefore his pedagogy and charism are called Salesian).

In 2006 a new classroom block, the Ciantar Block, was completed and named after Fr Joseph Ciantar, who was the pioneer of the Salesian Mission in Engadine. A new basketball court was also completed, called the Reichel Court, which was named in memory of teacher Chris Reichel. The court was built using a sum of money Reichel left to the school.

During 2015 and 2016 a new hall and assembly area with an attached Fitness Studio were built, as well as a Technical & Applied Studies (TAS) block on the site of the old hall. During 2017 the old TAS rooms were converted into a Learning Centre, music & drama rooms plus general classrooms.
