Venerable Nano Nagle
1891 (as Stella Maris Presentation College)
Nagle Catholic College commonly known as Nagle or NCC, is a private Catholic secondary school, located in the coastal town of Geraldton, Western Australia. The college was founded in 1994, as a result of a merger of Stella Maris Presentation College, established in 1891 and St. Patrick's College founded in 1926.
Nagle Catholic College is named after the Presentation Sisters founder Nano Nagle. Formerly a boarding college, Nagle is now a day school catering for Year 7s to Year 12s. The current college's campus is located on the Stella Maris Presentation College site, which today has grown to a college catering to 1,200 students.
Prior to the establishment of Nagle, St Patrick's College and Stella Maris Presentation College was the only form of Catholic higher school education available in Geraldton. Stella Maris College was founded by the Presentation Sisters while St Patrick's College was established by the Christian Brothers. Stella Maris provided higher education for females, while its counterpart provided higher education for the male demographic of Geraldton.
The college formerly housed a convent for the Presentation Sisters, which became a primary school and a church prior the establishment of St Francis Xavier's Cathedral. Moreover, the campus was built on former sandhills hence its hilly landscape.
In 2016, Nagle commenced the formation of a campus in Carnarvon, where it offers an opportunity for Carnavon students to achieve a catholic high school education, without leaving their hometown.
Nagle Catholic College was voted "Best School" in Geraldton as voted in The Best of Geraldton competition, held by Red FM.
Nagle Catholic College was formed from the agreement between authorities of the two parent colleges, Stella Maris Presentation College and St Patrick's College. The authorities thought it would be beneficial to combine the schools, to better cater for the students. The college was named after Nano Nagle, who founded the Presentation Sisters in Ireland in 1775.
