St John's, Ashfield

St John the Baptist Anglican Church is an active Anglican church located between Alt and Bland Streets, Ashfield, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Founded in 1840, on land donated by Elizabeth Underwood, the church building is the oldest authenticated surviving building in Ashfield, having been built at the time when subdivision increased the population density sufficiently to turn Ashfield into a town. It was also the first church built along the Parramatta Road which linked the early colonial towns of Sydney and Parramatta. The earliest remaining parts of the building are one of the first Sydney designs by the colonial architect Edmund Blacket, who later became renowned for his ecclesiastical architecture.: p. 51 The expansive church grounds contain a cemetery dating back to 1845 that contains the remains of many notable Ashfield residents. Australia's only memorial to Australian Air Force Cadets occupies a prominent position near the entrance to the church. The St John's site has been listed on the Local Environment Plan Heritage Schedule, and the Register of the National Trust of Australia.St John's is one of three churches, along with St Albans, Five Dock, and St Oswald's, Haberfield, which make up Christ Church Inner West, operating within the parish of Ashfield, Five Dock, and Haberfield, as part of the South Sydney Region of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney. The church has had 18 rectors, including William George Hilliard who later became the Bishop of Nelson. Andrew Katay has been rector since early 2005.

De La Salle College was an independent Roman Catholic comprehensive single-sex secondary day school for boys, located in Ashfield, an inner-western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Established in 1916 by the De La Salle Brothers and Vincentian Fathers, the college caters to students in Year 7 to Year 12 from the inner-west Parishes of the Archdiocese of Sydney. The college is under the patronage of the Archbishop of Sydney, Anthony Fisher. De La Salle College is one of 18 Lasallian Schools in Australia, and in the 1970s became the first Catholic high school in Australia to have a lay headmaster.On 8 June 2022, it was announced that the college would amalgamate with adjacent girls' high school, Bethlehem College, and St Vincent’s Primary School, due to increasing demand for co-educational schools in inner Sydney. From 2023, the new school was known as St Vincent's College and from 2027, after a five year transition period, it will become a fully K-12 co-educational school precinct.The school is affiliated with the Catholic Secondary Schools Association NSW/ACT, and the Metropolitan Catholic Colleges Sports Association (MCC).In education, the college was fully accredited in 2018 to run the Newman Selective Gifted Education Program (the Gifted and Talented program), which caters towards the significant learning needs of capable students. The program is currently being facilitated in a number of the Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools within Sydney Catholic Schools. The school also uses Inquiry-Based Learning approach, focusing mainly on the Solution Fluency framework. They offer a number of co-curricular activities and experiences, including immersions to Lasallian schools overseas. The school follows the NSW Syllabus and Australian Curriculum.

St Vincent's College Ashfield
St Vincent's College Ashfield

St Vincent's College Ashfield is a Roman Catholic co-educational K-12 school located in Ashfield, New South Wales in the Inner West of Sydney, Australia. The college operates within the Sydney Catholic Schools system and provides education from Kindergarten to Year 12. It was established in 2023 through the amalgamation of three neighbouring Catholic schools: Bethlehem College, De La Salle College and St Vincent’s Catholic Primary School. The merger created a single co-educational K-12 institution on the existing Ashfield campus sites. Prior to the amalgamation, Rosebank College was the only major co-educational Catholic secondary school in the Inner West region of Sydney. Until 2022, many Catholic secondary schools in the area operated as single-sex institutions, including De La Salle College (boys) and Bethlehem College (girls). The creation of St Vincent’s College Ashfield followed increasing demand in the region for co-educational Catholic schooling similar to that offered by Rosebank College. As of 2023, it was reported that the school had 1039 students. The changes occurred alongside other structural reforms within Catholic education in Sydney. In 2022, St Mary's Cathedral College announced plans to transition from a single-sex boys school to a co-educational model. During this period of restructuring, new school branding and uniforms were designed and supplied by the Ranier schoolwear design group, which also designed the uniforms for the new St Vincent's College.
