About this school, from public sources
Drawn from public online sources: St Mary's College is a Catholic day school for girls on the northern fringe of Hobart, founded by the Presentation Sisters in 1868. It is described as catering for roughly 940 students and sits beside St Mary's Cathedral, within walking distance of the city centre. Original convent buildings are still in use, and the school's motto speaks of God as the source of knowledge.
