History
The chapel was officially opened on 12 August 1966, which was described in the college annual as "the greatest day in the long history of the college".
In 1961 an appeal had been launched to raise funds for extensions to the college. Br. Hall's request to the Christian Brothers for support of the project included costings for a chapel at ₤25,000. When Br. Woodruff totalled up the payments to take the chapel to furnished completion, figures came out at ₤83,370.
The chapel was heritage listed by the Heritage Council of Western Australia on 1 May 1989.
