Our History
Chanel College opened it's doors for the first time in 1955 with 12 pupils. It was the year after the Canonisation of St. Pierre Chanel, one of the early Marists Fathers, whom the school is named after. The main school buildings were built in the late 60s and the school has gone from strength to strength ever since, currently educating over 600 young men.
