Chanel College is a Catholic co-educational college in Gladstone, Queensland, Australia. Founded in 1966 by the Marist Fathers, the school was originally located at Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School, but it moved to share the grounds of 11 Paterson Street with Stella Maris College. This property became the Gladstone Catholic High School. The girls were educated at Stella Maris College and the boys, at Chanel. It wasn’t until a later date (1983) that Chanel College became a co-ed school and the girls were mixed in with the boys. Opened to serve Gladstone’s youth, it still achieves its purpose.
