Originally founded as 'Patrician Brothers, Granville' in 1942, Delany College currently caters for approximately 550 students from years 7 to 12, and is a school of the Diocese of Parramatta. 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.[2]
