History

Kincoppal-Rose Bay, School of the Sacred Heart, is a private, Catholic, day and boarding school located in Rose Bay, an eastern suburb of Sydney. It is co-educational from early learning upto year 6, then caters for girls from years 7 to 12.

Kincoppal-Rose Bay is a member of the international group of Sacred Heart Schools conducted by the Society of the Sacred Heart, a Catholic teaching order established by Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat in France in 1800.

The Convent of the Sacred Heart, Rose Bay, was founded in 1882. Kincoppal was established at Elizabeth Bay in 1909. The two schools were amalgamated in 1971 to become Kincoppal-Rose Bay School of the Sacred Heart. The Senior School was a full boarding school until the 1960s when day students were admitted.
