St Stanislaus' College is a Catholic day and boarding high school for boys, conducted by the Congregation of the Mission's priests and brothers. It is located in , New South Wales, Australia, a regional centre west of Sydney. The college is the oldest Catholic boys' boarding school in Australia, and currently caters for approximately 600 students from Years 7 to 12, including about 120 boarders.〔 St Stanislaus' College is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),〔https://www.ahisa.edu.au/about-ahisa/schools/?state=NSW〕 and is a member of the Independent Schools Association (ISA).〔Independent Schools Association (Australia)〕 == History == St Stanislaus' College was established in 1867〔http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article119439212?searchTerm=St%20Stanislaus%27%20College&searchLimits=l-decade=186〕 with 14 boys, near the present St Michael and St John's Cathedral. Tuition occurred until 1873 in part of the Denominational School, which replaced the demolished St Michael's church, and the boarders lived nearby under the care of Michael McGirr; the first President was his cousin, Fr James McGirr.〔http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article146390664?searchTerm=history of st stanislaus college&searchLimits=〕 The school came under the control of the Congregation of the Mission in 1889, following the arrival of the Vincentian Fathers and Brothers from Ireland. Their task was to run the College and St Charles' Seminary on the same site. The seminary was founded in 1875 and closed at the end of 1891.〔 In 1892, the College became a member of the Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (GPS).〔http://aagps.nsw.edu.au/about/history/〕 However, travelling to Sydney for sports was difficult and membership was relinquished some years later. 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 Joseph Patrick Slattery on 21 September, and showed the location of gunshot in the shattered hand of an ex-student. The main oval was opened with a game of cricket on St Patrick's Day 1932, a College team pitted against an Australian XI captained by Alan Kippax and including Don Bradman. The College has mainly played Rugby Union although Rugby League was played for several years in the 1940s and 50s. The First XV won the Waratah Shield in 1974, 1980, 1981 and 1995. The original part of the current building with its three towers was constructed in stages from 1872 to 1907.〔http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article112643703?searchTerm=st%20stanislaus%20college&searchLimits=l-decade=190|||l-year=1907〕 Other additions included the Gallagher Wing in the 1942,〔http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article160897822?searchTerm=st%20stanislaus%20college&searchLimits=l-decade=194|||l-year=1942#pstart17119029〕 extension of the Chapel and Marble Hall completed 1954,〔http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article161542377?searchTerm=st%20stanislaus%20college%20chapel&searchLimits=l-decade=195〕 John Hall Wing (1962) and Slattery Wing (opened by Robert Menzies in 1965).
