The history of Mount St Benedict College dates back to 1966 when the first classes were held in the basement of the novitiate of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, now known as the MSB Centre. Now 58 years later, the College welcomes a new era, with the culmination of a grand renovation project heralding the opening of the MSB Centre in 2024.

This state-of-the-art facility, a testament to the College’s Good Samaritan heritage, signifies a commitment to academic excellence and a celebration of an enduring past. In its upgraded form, the MSB Centre offers a range of new learning spaces, including 11 new classrooms, multipurpose spaces with modern audio-visual learning aids and a large contemporary external stairwell facing onto the College’s heritage Blue Gum Forest. In addition, the MSB Centre will also become the new administration block for the College providing front of house, reception and office space for staff.

100 years of Benedictine heritage is now visible in the balance of old and new, and the College community looks forward to the teaching and learning opportunities the new spaces will open up to our students in the 2024 school year.
