It is dedicated to developing confident, courageous and compassionate young women.
Founded by the Sisters of Charity, the college has a long and distinguished tradition in the Catholic education of young women from city and rural areas of NSW.
For 135 years, boarders from regional areas have had a unique opportunity to live and learn right in the midst of Australia's biggest city - Sydney.
The inner-city location gives boarders access to the educational and recreational facilities of the city.
It is a great way to prepare and orientate themselves to living independently in the city for their tertiary studies.
The bright and spacious boarding house offers twin rooms for Years 7 - 11 and single rooms for Year 12 students.
Experienced and compassionate boarding co-ordinators encourage the girls to achieve their true potential.
The boarding community attend a weekly mass at the local parish, St Canice's, and take active roles in the liturgy.
Afternoon and evening study are structured by learning stage and are supervised by boarding and teaching staff, together with tertiary students.
Weekends involve a mix of study, sport and leisure time with close access to all Sydney has to offer.
They include landmarks, cultural facilities, Sydney Harbour and beaches.
This year the college has focused on its value of respect.
"In this context our students and staff have explored ways we could actively support families in regional areas adversely impacted by the prolonged drought," St Vincent's College principal, Anne Fry said.
"Encouraged by the advocacy of our girls, I am delighted to announce that additional drought relief boarding bursaries will be available.
"The bursary will be available to Year 11 students commencing boarding at the college in 2020."
Interested families are encouraged to go to the school's website for more information and to register.
