CBHS Highgate was a Catholic boys High School founded by the Christian Brothers in 1936 in Highgate  (Perth) Western Australia.

It operated as CBHS Highgate from 1936 to 1978 when it was merged with St Marks Bedford (previously CBHS Bedford), and

the name was changed to CBC Highgate.  CBC Highgate operated from 1979 until 1981 with Years 11 and 12 being conducted

at Highgate, and years 5 to 10 being conducted at Bedford, WA.

From 1982 the school name was changed to St Marks College Highgate.

In 1988 the school was closed down and sold by the Christian Brothers.

 All students were transferred to Chisholm College in Bedford from 1989.

St Marks International College operated an English language school on the Highgate site from 1989 until January 2010.
