Daramalan crestDaramalan College was founded in 1962 by the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC) with an initial enrolment of 246 students. Based on the Heart spirituality of the MSC, Daramalan has today grown to become Canberra’s largest single campus independent school with over 1480 boys and girls from Years 7 to 12.

The ethos of the MSC underpins our tradition of achievement and faith at Daramalan and our students flourish in this environment. Religious Education is central in the curriculum at Daramalan and students are expected to actively participate in all aspects of College life.

year of compassionDaramalan College offers comprehensive and diverse academic, pastoral, spiritual, vocational, sporting and cultural development to prepare competent and confident young men and women for the world beyond school.

Each year, the College adopts a theme that reflects one aspect of the MSC charism. The six themes chosen are Justice, Respect, Faith, Compassion, Hospitality and Forgiveness. 2010 is the Year of Compassion.
