St Scholastica's College (Schols), is an independent, day and boarding, Roman Catholic school for girls in Glebe, New South Wales, Australia. The College was founded by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan in 1878 on a site where Sydney's Central Railway Station now stands. To make way for the development of the station, in 1901 the college moved to its current site in Glebe Point, which was previously Toxeth Park Estate, a property owned by George Allen (built 1829). The College provides a moderately-priced Catholic-based education to girls from inner Sydney and rural New South Wales.
