History

Establishment

The College accepted its first students in September 1966 and there were initially around 275 students. The head of the school at the time was Brother Cornelius.[1]

The school was originally situated on the upper Glen Road and had taken Year 8 to 12 students. It was suffering from severe dilapidation after standing for almost 40 years, however in 2009 the newer college had finished construction, accepting A Level students and moving the years 8 to 12 into it. The school's current number of students is around 1,100.

The college also serves as an Entertainment Building and Soccer Training in after-school hours.
