opened in 1959 as a parish school and operated until 1971, when it was
renamed St Mark's College. During this time, the suffix 'Park' was slowly being dropped from
many of Perth's 'Park' suburbs

operated in Bedford (Park) from 1971 until 1978

operated from 1978-1982 (with the Highgate
campus housing only Years 10-12 and St Mark's College at Bedford taking Years 5-9). When
the CBC Highgate campus closed in 1982, all classes were then accommodated at the combined
college on the Bedford campus, the whole complex then being called 'St Marks College' Bedford

operated from 1982-1989, whereupon it amalgamated
with St Thomas Aquinas Girls School of Bedford, becoming Chisholm Catholic College

has operated since 1989 on the original
Beaufort Street, Bedford, site which was set up in 1959 as 'CBHS Bedford'
