Seton Catholic College was established in January 1990 as a secondary school of the Archdiocese of Perth. It is a College founded on the traditions and experience of the two pre-existing schools from which it was developed –
St Brendan’s College, established in 1964 by the Society of African Missions, and De Vialar College, established by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition in 1968 from their previously existing St Joseph’s School in Fremantle, established in 1855.
This co-educational College began operating on the two sites formally occupied by St Brendan’s and De Vialar Colleges. The De Vialar Campus catered for upper school students (Years 11 and 12) while the lower school students (Years 8, 9 and 10) were situated on the St Brendan’s Campus. The College was placed under the patronage of
St Eliabeth Seton, who on being widowed devoted her life to the establishment of the parochial school system in the United States. The College amalgamated onto its present site, the De Vialar Campus in 1996.
The traditions of the founding schools as well as the distinctive existence of Seton Catholic College, find expression in the College crest. The cross of salvation and the flame of faith, prominent in the crests of its antecedent Colleges, are both represented, and the stylised sea gulls and waves symbolise Seton College’s links with the Fremantle area.
The College motto, “Seek Christ” is an embodiment of the central mission of the Catholic school and expresses the hope that all in the College community will seek primarily to know and follow Christ in their lives.
