St Francis de Sales College

St Francis de Sales College is a Reception to Year 12 Catholic co-educational school located in Mount Barker, South Australia.

[citation needed] In 1977, the Sisters of Mercy withdrew from teaching at the college, before becoming known as the Mount Barker Parish School in 1978, staffed entirely by lay teachers.

With continual growth of the primary school, more buildings were developed with an increased student population of youths now travelling by bus from Woodside and Balhannah.

[1] The college has continued to grow to cater for students across the Mount Barker and Adelaide Hills districts, reaching families in many surrounding suburbs.

[3] In 2020, the second stage of development commenced; the new Junior School and Early Learning Centre being completed later that year, providing state-of-the-art facilities for R-6 students and younger learners.
