Christian Brothers College (CBC for short) is a Catholic School in South Australia. It was founded in 1878 by immagrant Christian Brothers from Ireland. CBC can be considered unique in education in that it has a very causual atmosphere punctuated by friendly student-teacher relationships. In recent years CBC has broadened its educational pallete to include music and food technology programs.
The Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools is a society of male religious approved by the Church, but not taking Holy orders, and having for its object the personal sanctification of its members and the Christian education of youth, especially of the children of artisans and the poor.
Under the administration of Brother Timothée successful negotiations resulted in the legal recognition of the institute by Louis XV, who granted it letters patent, 24 September, 1724; and in virtue of the Bull of approbation of Benedict XIII, 26 January, 1725, it was admitted among the congregations canonically recognized by the Church.
For the Church of France this was the spring of a new era; for the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools it was a resurrection.
