The campus has around 470 students, and is administered by the De La Salle Brothers, a teaching order of Christian Brothers. The campus director as of 2012 is Stephen Pooley. At the beginning of 2021, St James College was amalgamated into St Bede's College in Mentone, operating as a second campus of that college.

History

The school opened in 1970 in association with the De La Salle Brothers as St James Regional College, in order to serve six Catholic parishes in a fast-growing area of suburban Melbourne, and moved from temporary accommodations to the first buildings on its present campus in 1971. By 1984, it was serving four Catholic additional parishes.[1] In early 2021, it became a campus of St Bede's College, Mentone, adopting its name and uniform.[2][3]

Some of the school's students have gone on to play in Australian sports such as Australian Rules Football.[4][5] St Peters Church Bentleigh East often hosts masses for the students at the College.https://newsletters.naavi.com/i/x5BbLV5/issue-12/page/2
