Wiradjuri people.
St Stanislaus' College was established in 1867. The school came under the control of the
Vincentian's in
1889, following the arrival of the Vincentian Fathers and Brothers from
Ireland, with the purpose of taking over the college.
Vincentians continued in the role of President and Headmaster at the College until the commencement of 1993, when it was decided to separate the two roles. The first lay Headmaster at Stannies is Mr John Edwards, who this year commences his 14th year as Headmaster.
