Delany College is an independent Roman Catholic comprehensive co-educational secondary day school, located in Granville, a western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; in the tradition of the Patrician Brothers. Founded in 1942 as the Patrician Brothers' High School, the College is administratively overseen by the Catholic Education Office of the Diocese of Parramatta.
Delany College has enrolment of approximately 348 students from Year 7 to Year 12. Students are drawn from a number of local catholic schools including Holy Trinity Primary, Granville; Holy Family Primary, Granville East; St Patrick's Primary, Guildford and St Margaret Mary's Primary, Merrylands.
Delany College was established in 1942 as Patrician Brothers' High School, a Catholic all-boys school catering for students in Years 5 to 10. The school was founded to serve the growing Catholic population in the Granville area and was staffed entirely by members of the Patrician Brothers congregation.
In 1997, the school underwent a significant transformation to meet the changing educational needs of the local community. Under the leadership of the first lay principal, Quentin Evans, the school became a co-educational Year 7 to 12 college. At this time, the institution was renamed "Delany College" in honour of Bishop Daniel Delany, the founder of the Patrician Brothers.
The late 1990s and early 2000s saw a major building program to upgrade the campus facilities for senior secondary education and co-educational requirements. While the school transitioned to lay leadership, it maintains a strong connection to its Patrician heritage.
