Chanel College (Gladstone)

Chanel College is a Catholic co-educational college in Gladstone, Queensland, Australia. Founded in 1966 by the Marist Brothers, the school was originally located at Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School, but it moved to share the grounds of 11 Paterson Street with Stella Maris College. The girls were educated at Stella Maris College and the boys, at Chanel. It wasn’t until a later date, around 1976, that Chanel College became a co-educational school. At this time the school became known as the Gladstone Catholic High School, with Brother John as Principal. During this stage of the school life cycle, Sister Bernadette continued to head Stella Maris and was resident principal of the girl's school. At this time, Chanel College only educated students to Year 10; the year of completion of the Junior Certificate. Students then went on to attend the Gladstone State High School to complete Senior studies. After Brother John left the School, Brother Colin Marsten became Principal around 1978, and together with Brother Gonzaga, and Brother Joachim continued the efforts of the Marist Brother teachings. It was the first Private Secondary school opened to serve Gladstone’s youth, it still achieves its purpose. The first year 11 (Senior) class commenced in January 1982 and in November 1983, the very first year 12 class from the Gladstone State High School graduated.
