Red Bend Catholic College is an independent Roman Catholic co-educational secondary day and boarding school located in Forbes in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia. The College is run by the Marist Brothers, a religious institute. Established in 1926, the College has enrolled approximately 800 students from Year 7 to Year 12.
History
Prior to 1977, the Catholic education of students in this region was provided by three secondary schools; Our Lady of Mercy College, Forbes; Our Lady of Mercy High School, Parkes; and Marist Brothers' College, Forbes.
In February 1977, these three schools combined to form one co-educational High School, with the name of Red Bend Catholic College, at the site of the former Marist Brothers' College, on the banks of the Lachlan River. This merger brought together the teaching traditions of the Mercy Sisters and the Marist Brothers.
