Daramalan College is an ACT senior high school in Canberra, Australia, located in the suburb of Dickson, near the Dickson Shopping Centre.
It provides education from Year 7 to 12, in a co-educational environment. Run by the Roman Catholic Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, it has an emblem of a red eagle on a black shield. Its theme colours are Red and Black. Daramalan College was founded in 1962 as an all boys school, with girls enrolling in year 11 and 12 from 1977, and in year 7 onwards in 1996.
The school population mainly consists of working-class catholics, however enrolment is open to students of all religious and cultural backgrounds.
