Mount St Marys High School

Mount St Mary's High School is a former convent and college attached to St Mary's Convent Church, now functioning as a school. The convent was built in 1861 by Matthew Ellison Hadfield, with the college added in 1901. It is designed in the Tudor Revival style and is arranged around a courtyard, with the college located on the northwest side. The building has three storeys, increasing to four storeys along the Church Road frontage. It features coursed rock-faced masonry and slate roofs, with paired mullioned windows and canted bays facing the yard, as well as string courses at the floor levels. The college entrance, located at the southwest end, has a central wide doorway with a three-light overlight and flanking windows, all beneath a segmental-arched and stepped hoodmould adorned with carved heads that may represent contemporary portraits. There is an ashlar plaque to the right inscribed with: 'JMJ/ St Mary's College/ The Revd. L G Roche OMI/ Blessed and Laid this stone/ 8th Sep 1901'. The building also features stone chimney stacks with grouped octagonal shafts and a square tower with a tall hipped roof on the northeast side. The interior has not been inspected.
