The school was founded in 1985 and named after Cardinal Sir James Freeman, the sixth Roman Catholic Archbishop of Sydney. With a teaching staff of 107, in April 2024, the college reports enrolment of approximately 1,360 students, with a student:teacher ratio 13:1.[2]
Overview
[edit | edit source]Freeman students are placed into Pastoral Houses, each representing a significant person within the community. The Houses are:
- Cabrogal – 'Cobras', orange
- Chisholm – 'Chiefs', blue
- Gilroy – 'Gladiators', yellow
- Langtry – 'Leprechauns', purple
- Lyons – 'Leopards', grey
- Mackillop – 'Redbacks', red
- Polding – 'Pirates', green
- Turner – 'Tigers', white (and black)[citation needed]
The Houses compete in numerous activities throughout the year in such competitions as the Swimming Carnival, Athletics Carnival, Cross Country and MISA. The House that accumulates the most points at the end of the year becomes House Champions.
Notable people
[edit | edit source]In 2010, Guy Zangari, who was the school's Pastoral Care Coordinator, was selected as the Australian Labor Party candidate for the state electorate of Fairfield for the New South Wales State elections in March 2011[3] as Joe Tripodi's replacement who had recently resigned.
