When Galen Catholic College was first proposed in the early 1970s, much more building development was envisioned. This artists sketch from 1974 shows the proposed development in two stages. Stage 1, labelled in blue was actually built. Stage 2, labelled in red, was not, possibly because of the merging of Galen, Champagnat and St. Joseph's in 1983. champagnat college, galen catholic college, galen college, school buildings, development, artist's sketch, 1975, 1974
