St Vincent's College (colloquially known as Vinnies), is an independent Roman Catholic single-sex secondary day and boarding school for girls, located in Victoria Street, Potts Point, an inner-city suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The College is Australia's oldest registered Catholic girls' school in Australia, founded by the Sisters of Charity as a co-educational primary school in 1858.[3] St Vincent's College follows the spirituality of Ignatius of Loyola. The College has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 710 girls in Years 7 to 12, including approximately 60 boarders.

St Vincent's is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[4] the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA),[1] the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia (AGSA),[5] and is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Girls' Schools (AHIGS).[6]

History

St Vincent's College was founded as the Victoria Street Roman Catholic School, by the Sisters of Charity in 1858, a year after the sisters established St Vincent's Hospital at the same site.

The school reopened as St Vincent's College, a secondary, fee-paying, private, independent school in May 1882, after the hospital's relocation to the neighbouring suburb of Darlinghurst. In 2018 St Vincent's College celebrated its 160th anniversary[7] and in 2019 its 135th year of Boarding.
