Galen Catholic College has usually put on at least one theatrical production every year and in 2015, Aladdin was produced as a whole school production. These photos show the students performing, as well as the supporting musicians and backstage crew.
Between 1975 and 1982, Galen Catholic College and Champagnat College were located more or less on the same school grounds, but in separate buildings. The two schools had two separate teaching faculties. These few photographs were taken of the staff at Champagnat College in the early 1980s.

Saint Joesph's College was a Catholic girl's school situated in Ryley Street in Wangaratta. In 1983, it joined with Champagnat College and Galen Catholic College, to form an enlarged Galen Catholic College, serving Year 7 to 12 students. Many of the staff at Saint Joseph's College that appear in these photos from the 1970s and the early 1980s, went on to teach at Galen College, becoming stalwarts of the school.
