Welcome to Galen
We would like to welcome you to the Galen Catholic College website.
Message from the Principal Mr Dave Seiter
"Galen Catholic College has a rich tradition of engaging the whole person in developing his or her own unique gifts and talents. 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. 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. We endeavour to assist our students to be able to live with faith and integrity within an ever changing world, to be resilient and hope filled.
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. "
