Galen Catholic College has a rich tradition of engaging the whole person in developing his or her own unique gifts and talents. In my role as Principal, I have experienced a professional and caring staff interacting with students in a myriad of activities, both in and out of the classroom. In short, I have come to appreciate Galen as a very good school where exciting things happen for all.

The students of Galen are encouraged to develop their unique personalities while at the same time nurtured to broaden their horizons and meet new challenges.

As a Catholic-Christian College, the spiritual, moral and relational dimensions of educating for life are blended together with the academic, sporting and artistic pursuits in the human person.

All students are encouraged to participate accordingly.

Galen has a rich tradition, a vibrant present and a bright future. We invite those who are interested to come and see.
