History

In the year 1916 a small girls' school was founded by the Dominican Order of nuns in Kerr Street, Mayfield. Three years later the property previously known as "Redcliff" was purchased. The school was moved to its current location in Havelock Street, and became a secondary school for young ladies, run by the sisters of St Dominic.

Dominican Order Roman Catholic religious order

The Order of Preachers, also known as the Dominican Order, is a mendicant Catholic religious order founded by the Spanish priest Dominic of Caleruega in France, approved by Pope Innocent III via the Papal bull Religiosam vitam on 22 December 1216. Members of the order, who are referred to as Dominicans, generally carry the letters OP after their names, standing for Ordinis Praedicatorum, meaning of the Order of Preachers. Membership in the order includes friars, nuns, active sisters, and affiliated lay or secular Dominicans.

In the 62 years that followed the school became well known as both a boarding school and a day school with various extensions and modifications.

In 1977 the school became the first high school in the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle to be run completely by lay staff, when the last Dominican sisters left, and the first lay principal was appointed. At that time, the school had an enrolment of approximately 250 girls.

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle is a suffragan Latin Rite diocese of the Archdiocese of Sydney, established in 1847, initially as the Diocese of Maitland and changed to the current name in 1995. The diocese covers the Hunter and Mid North Coast regions of New South Wales in Australia.

In 1983 the school became co-educational and the first boys were enrolled.

In 2009, the school held a very formal opening ceremony joined by guests such as Bishop Michael Malone and Sharon Grierson, to celebrate the official opening of the new multimillion-dollar developments.

Sharon Joy Grierson was educated at Newcastle Teachers College, and worked as a teacher and school principal before entering politics.
