Roman Catholic High School (Years 7-12) inMarrickville , Australia.History
Casimir was formed in 1983 from the merger of De La Salle College, a boy's school and St Brigid’s Girls’ School, which had existed since the 1930s. The founder of both schools was parish priest Father Casimir Maguire and so the amalgamated school took his name.
Philosophy
The College adheres to the values and customs of the three orders involved in its history: the
Good Samaritan Sisters , theDe La Salle Brothers and thePassionist Fathers . Casimir is located within a very multicultural area of Sydney and the school embraces the richness and diversity this brings to its culture.Local links
The College has strong links with its four feeder primary schools through the 'Marrickville District Catholic Schools Council'. This structure supports a shared commitment to cooperate towards a complete K-12 perspective in the local educational community.
