Santa Sabina College Limited, Sydney

Established in 1894, Santa Sabina College in Strathfield teaches boys and girls from Prep to Year 4 and girls only to Year 12.

In 1867 a band of Irish Dominican Sisters left Ireland to establish the first Dominican foundation in Australia – in Maitland, New South Wales.
In 1892 the Maitland Dominican Sisters responded to the request of Cardinal Moran to establish a city boarding school, and land and Lindeman Lodge were purchased in Strathfield.
Six Sisters took up residence in 1894 on the top floor of Rosary Lodge (Lindeman Lodge) and students had their first classes in the building.
