Galen Catholic College is a Roman Catholic co-educational high school located in Wangaratta, Victoria, Australia. The College is affiliated with the Association of Marist Schools of Australia.

History

[edit]

The college was established in 1974, by the Marist Brothers, as Galen College, a senior campus (Yrs 11 and 12) for both male and female students. Most of its students came from the long-established St Joseph's Girls College and Champagnat Boys College, an agricultural boarding school; these two schools amalgamated and formed the current Galen College.

By 1983, Galen was operating as a full Year 7–12, co-educational college.

Sport

[edit]

The school is a member of the Catholic All Schools Sports Association (CAS).

The school today

[edit]

Galen Catholic College now caters for grades 7 to VCE/VCAL (11 and 12). With 17 buildings on over 5,900 square metres (63,000 sq ft) of educational space, it serves around 1,200 students from Wangaratta and other local districts including Corowa, Rutherglen, Beechworth, Yarrawonga and Moyhu.[1]
