Chanel College

Chanel College was a Roman Catholic school for boys in Geelong, Victoria, Australia. Founded in 1958, it closed in 1999. The site was later purchased by the Geelong Baptist College. History The school was founded in 1958 by the Marist Fathers, and established on the site of what is now Pettitt Park, in the Geelong suburb of Bell Post Hill. The school's founding rector was Father Stanley Hosie SM, MA, STL. Originally a school for day boys, from the start of 1962 the school took in boarders from Australia and Malaysia (notably Robert Tan and Matthew Chee). Whilst day students were still enrolled, the focus of the school was on boarding students. In mid 1963, the school relocated to a newly built complex at Lovely Banks, near Geelong, under the guidance and direction of the schools' second rector, Stephen Maloney SM, BA, MACE. Maloney was a very highly regarded and respected teacher at the school.
