St Columba's High was a six-year Catholic comprehensive school serving the northern part of Clydebank, the village of Duntocher, Faifley, Hardgate and the Drumchapel area of Glasgow. Other pupils come in substantial numbers from Old Kilpatrick, Knightswood and Scotstoun. Five primary schools provided the great majority of the first year intake: St Mary's, St Joseph's, St Eunan's, St Stephen's and St Clare's, although a variety of others added to this number.
