Delany College is a Roman Catholic, co-educational Secondary day school, located in Granville, a western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Originally founded as 'Patrician Brothers, Granville' in 1942, Delany College currently caters for approximately 550 students from years 7 to 12, and is a school of the Diocese of Parramatta. Students are drawn from a number of local catholic schools including Holy Trinity Primary, Granville; Holy Family Primary, Granville East; St Patrick's Primary, Guildford and St Margaret Mary's Primary, Merrylands.
Since then, it has been reformed in 1997, under the control of Mr Quentin Evans (Sanctioned by the Diocese), who currently teaches at St Aloysius' College (Sydney), Milsons Point. It is also worth noting that Mr Q. Evans founded another Catholic school, Terra Sancta College, in 1996.

Famous quotes containing the words delany and/or college:
“I am a colored woman or a Negro woman. Either one is OK. People dislike those words now. Today these use this term African American. It wouldn’t occur to me to use that. I prefer to think of myself as an American, that’s all!”
—Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)
“Face your own ambivalence about letting go and you will be better able to help you children cope with their own feelings. The insight you gain through your own acceptance of change will bolster your confidence and make you a stronger college parent. The confidence you develop will be evident to your child, who will be able to move away from you without fear.”
—Norman Goddam (20th century)
