About Guilford Young College
Guilford Young College is dedicated to the memory of Archbishop Sir Guilford Young who served the people of Tasmania for 34 years as Archbishop of Hobart from 1955 until 1988.
Archbishop Young was a deeply spiritual man who modelled his life on Jesus Christ respecting people from all walks of life. He saw education as a gift and an opportunity, drawing inspiration from his own humble educational beginnings in outback Queensland. He recognised the necessity of schools, particularly Catholic ones, to be well-built and equipped and staffed by dedicated teachers.
Guilford Young College was established in 1994 and opened its doors in February 1995, having been established by the Archdiocese of Hobart, the Christian Brothers, The Dominican Sisters, the Salesians of Don Bosco, the Religious Sisters of Charity and the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart. Its creation fulfilled the vision, originally articulated by Archbishop Sir Guilford Young, to build a Catholic Senior Secondary College in southern Tasmania.
