St Stanislaus' College (commonly known as Stannies) is a Roman Catholic, day and boarding school for boys conducted by the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul's priests and brothers in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia. The college is the oldest Catholic boys' boarding school in Australia,[4] and currently caters for approximately 790 students from years 7 to 12, including 180 boarders.[2]
St Stanislaus' College is a member of the Independent Schools Association (ISA), and the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia.[5]
History
Prior to European settlement, the land now occupied by St. Stanislaus' College formed part of the territory occupied by the Wiradjuri people.[6]
St Stanislaus' College was established in 1867. The school came under the control of the Vincentian's in 1889, following the arrival of the Vincentian Fathers and Brothers from Ireland, with the purpose of taking over the college.[7]
In 1896, the college received much media attention when it became the site of the first x-ray for medical purposes in Australia. This x-ray was taken by Father James Slattery on the 21st September, and showed the location of gunshot in the shattered hand of an ex-student.[8]
Vincentians continued in the role of President and Headmaster at the College until the commencement of 1993, when it was decided to separate the two roles. The first lay Headmaster at Stannies is Mr John Edwards, who this year commences his 14th year as Headmaster.[7]
