Regis Campus—Years 5 and 6

Named after the French Jesuit Saint John Regis, whose ministry in the 1600s included teaching, care of the sick and destitute, and defending the Faith through his preaching, boys in Years 5 and 6 enjoy a range of facilities including a Chapel, Library, Computer Labratory, Educational Support Office, Canteen and Regis Hall. Sports facilities include outside basketball courts and two ovals. The Years 7 and 8 Boarding house is also located on this campus.

Students on Regis Campus travel to the Senior School for masses and assemblies, to use the Gartlan Sports Centre and for occasional classes and performances.
