Nagle College is an independent Roman Catholic co-educational secondary day school located in Bairnsdale in the East Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia.
Nagle College was established in 1958 to provide a Catholic secondary education for the families in the parishes of East Gippsland. The College was founded by the Presentation Sisters who provided the leadership of the College until 1975. The school is named after the Sisters' patron, The Venerable Nano Nagle. Rod Nicholson was Principal from 1976 until 1988. The Salesians of Don Bosco took responsibility for the College in 1990.
The school began in Francis Street and moved to a site on the western edge of the town in 1979.
The winter uniform consists of dress shirts, tie and pants or skirt. The summer uniform consists of a dress for girls, and a shirt and shorts for boys. Juniors (year level 7–9) wear yellow shirts and seniors (year level 10–12) wear a white dress shirt. Seniors also wear a blazer and juniors have the option to wear a jumper or a spray jacket.
The sport uniform (for sports classes) consists of a shirt of the house colour (see below) and shorts or leggings.
