About Us

The foundation of the College was an initiative of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle which purchased a 6ha site in 1998 amongst the growing suburbs to the west of Newcastle. The site has an historic mansion "Styles Grove" which was the home of James Fletcher, the first Member of Parliament for Newcastle, for ten years.

Following that it was home to the Thomas family for over seventy years and remained a private home until mid 1998. “Styles Grove” is now the administration centre for the College.

The College commenced in 1999 with 49 students from Kindergarten to Year 7. The first cohort of students entered Year 12 for their Higher School Certificate in 2004.

Currently there are approximately 750 students enrolled in the College with double streams in Years K-6 & 11-12 and multiple streams in Years 7-10.

The College Chapel of St Mary and St John is shared with the local Anglican Community in Blue Gum Hills for whom it is their parish church.
