College Leadership - Mazenod College

Forward thinking leaders with an appreciation of our solid foundations.
—

Mazenod College was founded by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in February 1967 to serve the growing needs of parishes in the suburbs of Clayton, Springvale and Waverley. In July 2022, a Memorandum of Understanding for Mazenod Regional College was signed between the Melbourne Archdiocese of Catholic Schools (MACS), and the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. This solidified the long-term relationship between the Founding Fathers of the College and the Melbourne Archdiocese. Mazenod College is led by College Principal Dr Paul Shannon, and College Rector Fr Harry Dyer OMI.
