[edit] History
Monte Sant' Angelo is the oldest independent girls' school on Sydney's North Shore. The college was established in 1875, on the corner of West and Carlow Streets, North Sydney, by Mother Ignatius McQuoin of the Sisters of Mercy.[9]
By 1879, the school had outgrown its original site and subsequently moved to its current location at Miller Street. The name of the College is taken from Monte Sant' Angelo, a centre of religion, culture and learning in Gargano, Italy.[9]
