Bunbury Catholic College Ex-students

What Bunbury Catholic College Ex-students does

Bunbury Catholic College Ex-students, operating as BCC Alumni (Bunbury Catholic College Ex-Students Association), is a non-profit alumni organization affiliated with Bunbury Catholic College, a co-educational Catholic secondary school serving students from Year 7 to Year 12 in Bunbury, Western Australia. The alumni association was established in 1973 alongside the college's formation through the amalgamation of St Joseph's Secondary School for Girls (Sisters of Mercy, est. 1883) and St Francis Xavier's College for boys (Marist Brothers, est. 1954). The organization operates the Hall of Distinction (recognizing outstanding past students in Business, Humanitarian, Professional, Sporting, and Arts categories), funds annual bursaries for current students including the Sister Martha Bursary and Marist Brothers/Sisters of Mercy Bursary, sponsors the VET Award, and coordinates reunions and yearbook digitization.

The parent college operates on a tuition-fee revenue model with annual and term-based billing, public fee schedules, and financial hardship and concession card discounts. Technology infrastructure is built around the SEQTA learning management platform (with separate Engage, Learn, and Teach portals for parents, students, and teachers), complemented by CDFPay for cafeteria, uniform, and excursion payments, and Microsoft Sway for newsletter distribution. The college delivers multiple academic pathways — ATAR, General, and VET — supported by specialist programs including Elite Sports, Music, Drama, Extension & Enrichment (ACES), and Christian Service Learning. Partnerships with South Regional TAFE, Health Science Hub, and the Bunbury Regional Trade Training Centre (located on campus) provide nationally recognised vocational qualifications, with 99 VET certificates achieved by the 2025 cohort.

The go-to-market model is direct enrollment through online applications, with personalized college tours, an annual Open Day, and the South West Career Expo (drawing approximately 3,000 students from 25 local high schools). The college is governed by the Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) system and operates under its College Advisory Council chaired by Vanessa McQuade. The alumni association is governed by an independent committee with Acting Chairperson Malena Cahill, Vice President Antonette Franco, Treasurer Nola Jennings, and Database Coordinator Julie Ranson. Both organizations are regional in scope, serving the South West Western Australia catchment.
