Federation of Catholic Regional Colleges

The Federation of Catholic Regional Colleges (CRC) is a collaboration of five Catholic, coeducational secondary colleges, located in the north Western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Each College within the Federation is partially autonomous with its own administrative structures. As a complex, the federation is governed by the Catholic Regional Colleges Board and its students are identified in the community by a single uniform and College crest. The name of each college is a combination of its campus location prefixed with 'Catholic Regional College'.

The first of the colleges to open was the St Albans campus in 1978, followed closely by the opening of a second campus in Melton West two years later. In 1982, a senior college in Sydenham was opened to cater for the senior secondary education of students from the Melton and St Albans campuses. In the same year an additional Years 7–10 college opened in Keilor North. As of 2007, the latest addition to the CRC Federation is a college in Caroline Springs. By the time Caroline Springs reached Year 10 in 2010 and expected to feed into Sydenham in 2011, the Melton campus expanded their Years 7-10 to include Years 11 and 12 over the 2011 and 2012, and since then became a separate Years 7-12 secondary school on their own.
