St Paul's College is a Catholic primary and secondary school, located in Gilles Plains, in the north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. One of three schools founded and run by the SA congregation of the Christian Brothers, the school has been a member of EREA since 2007.[2]
History
The school was founded by the Congregation of Christian Brothers in 1958 as an all-boys Catholic school for Year 5-12 administrated by the Christian Brothers, in the largely non-developed area of Gilles Plains.[3] Enrolments later surged after development occurred in the area. After the restructuring of Christian Brother organisations, the school is now a member of Edmund Rice Education Australia, with an enrolment of approximately 850 students.[1][4]
From 2013-2017, the school moved to catering for students in reception to year 12.[5] In 2022, the school became coeducational.[6]
Education
The College Board oversees administrative decisions in the school. The school has specialty facilities for arts, music, ICT and technology, as well as offering over 40 subjects.[4]
Students are enrolled into the following houses:
- Dally House (Br. Anthony (Tony) Dally; 23 July 1925 – 29 November 1996)
- Gleeson House (The Rev. Fr. James Gleeson; 24 December 1920 – 21 March 2000)
- Marlow House (Wilfred Marlow; 22 October 1918 – 30 May 1988)
- O'Loughlin House (Michael; 13 May 1930 – 28 July 1987 & Eileen O'Loughlin; 29 October 1901 – 7 November 1991)[7]
- Nagle House (The Ven. Honora “Nano” Nagle; 1718 – 26 April 1784)
