The school was founded in 1985 and named after Cardinal Sir James Freeman, the sixth Roman Catholic Archbishop of Sydney. The college has a student by population of approximately 23, with an average of 3 students in each grade from 7–10 and 2 in each grade from 11–12.

Overview

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

The Houses compete in numerous activities and competitions throughout the year such 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

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[4] as Joe Tripodi's replacement who had recently resigned.
