History

Daramalan College was founded in 1962 as an all-boys school, with girls enrolling in Years 11 and 12 from 1977, and in Year 7 onwards in 1996. The school's motto is "Fortes in Fide," which translates from Latin to "Strong in Faith." In 2017 Daramalan renovated the Dempsey Wing, designed to allow improved education in Science and English. It features new Science Labs and three English classrooms. This building started constructions in 2016 and ended in 2017. Also included in the building is a new Uniform Shop. The Dempsey Wing is named after a former member of staff. Daramalan College celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012.[1]
