About Mount Carmel College - Hobart

In 1847, three Sisters of Charity arrived in Hobart and established St. Joseph’s School, providing religious education for boys and girls. In 1942, the Sisters of Charity established ‘Little Mount Carmel’ Primary School, which began in a house in View Street, Sandy Bay, and transferred to ‘Lauramont’ on its present site in 1947. 1957 saw the amalgamation of Mount Carmel Primary School and St Joseph’s College to form Mount Carmel College. The founders’ commitment, from the beginning, was to improve educational opportunities, especially for young women, equipping them with skills to make a positive contribution to society. We remain true to this focus today and at the heart of our mission is the rich heritage we have inherited, guided by our motto, Fortes in Fides (Strong in Faith). We strive to provide an education which fosters creative thinkers, confident problem solvers, independent and passionate lifelong learners. Our girls’ only environment supports girls to take intellectual risks and to focus on excellence in achievement. Our College encourages its students to become young people of faith who strive to make a difference in the world. We acknowledge and celebrate the diversity and unique talents of the young women in our care. With Christ as our guiding light and in the charism of the Sisters of Charity, we look to the future with confidence, continuing to provide first-class education for today's girls.
