St Paul's College is a Catholic primary and secondary school, located in Gilles Plains, in the north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia.

Education[]

The school was founded by the Congregation of Christian Brothers in 1958. The school is a member of Edmund Rice Education Australia,[3] with an enrolment of approximately 850 students.[1][4]

Since 2013, the school has catered for students in reception to year 12.[5] In 2022, the school will become coeducational.[6] The school has specialty facilities for arts, music, ICT and technology, as well as offering over 40 subjects.[4]

Students are enrolled into houses. In 2020, the houses included:

  • Dally House (Tony Dally)
  • Gleeson House (Father James Gleeson)
  • Marlow House (Wilf Marlow)
  • O'Loughlin House (named for a family who were neighbours to the school)[7]

Each year, Year 4 and above go on a unique[clarification needed] camp to experience nature. These camps range from a Zoo-Snooze (Sleeping at the Adelaide Zoo) to a Mounting Biking Adventure, where students bring and cook their own meals.[8]
