History edit

Mater Dei School was established in 1910 by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, originally as an orphanage for orphans who lived in the inner city areas of Sydney. In 1957 the Bishop of Wollongong requested to establish a school for girls with intellectual disabilities and the Sisters accepted the request.[2]

The school occupies the site of the historic mansion, Wivenhoe, designed by John Verge and built in 1837 for Charles Cowper and his wife, Eliza.[3][4][5]
