Our College

Welcome to Cardijn College


Cardijn College is an R-12 co-educational Catholic school grounded in the Marist tradition and inspired by the dual charisms of our patrons, Joseph Cardijn and St. Marcellin Champagnat. Since our founding in 1984, we have been dedicated to educating and inspiring students in the Southern Vales region of Adelaide. Over the years, Cardijn has expanded to encompass three distinct campuses, each offering specialized educational experiences.

At Cardijn College Galilee in Aldinga, we offer education from Reception to Year 9, creating a nurturing environment where each student feels a unique sense of belonging. This campus is known for its focus on ecological awareness and community involvement.

Cardijn College Marian, located in Noarlunga Downs, educates students from Years 7 to 12. It is celebrated for its comprehensive curriculum and vibrant extra-curricular program that caters to a diverse student body, providing varied learning pathways that meet individual needs and aspirations.

Cardijn College Marcellin in Christie Downs is focused on providing extensive vocational education and training opportunities for students in Years 10 to 12 and beyond. Our strong industry partnerships help extend relationships into our students’ future careers, offering real-world experiences that are second to none.

With a current enrolment of 2050 students and with 300 dedicated staff members, Cardijn College strives to be a beacon of faith within the community. We work in partnership to encourage, enable, and support students, families, and staff to live faithfully and with integrity.

At Cardijn, we are committed to empowering our students to succeed not only academically but as inspired and authentic individuals. Our students are equipped to navigate their future pathways confidently and embark on a rich and rewarding life journey.
