Gleeson College

Perth Private Schools introduces Gleeson College in Golden Grove, for all your education and learning needs.

Gleeson College is a Catholic Co-Educational Secondary College situated on the Golden Grove Secondary Schools Campus in the North Eastern suburbs of Adelaide. With an enrolment maximum of 700 students, Gleeson College is particularly well resourced and is complemented by our outstanding shared facilities.

Gleeson College was established in 1989 and is named after the late Emeritus Archbishop of Adelaide, the very Reverend James Gleeson. Archbishop Gleeson had a strong personal commitment to the pursuit of excellence, justice and peace, and we believe that the students of Gleeson College continue to strive for those goals in our Catholic tradition.

We are a faith-filled community, providing our students and staff with the opportunity to discover, develop and use their God-given talents in the service of others. We aim to foster and encourage all students to strive to be the best they can academically, socially and as a person for the world.

Our mission is to always be a College of quality learning and quality teaching. We also aim to work in close partnership with our students and parents, in order to achieve success for all. Pursuit of excellence is a core value of Gleeson College, and is demonstrated by our goal of continuous improvement throughout an evidenced-based approach to 21st Century education.

Gleeson College is underpinned by the values of the Gleeson 10, Choice Theory and Brain-Based Learning. The College operates a Vertical House Structure (VHS) of Pastoral Care, with House Home Groups including both Year 8 and 9 students in the Middle School, and Year 10-12 students in the Senior School. Since its introduction in 2010, we are continually observing the positive outcomes of the VHS implementation, including increased College Spirit and improved student relationships and sense of belonging over all year levels.
