St. Paul's International College caters to Australian and overseas students from Year 7 to Year 12 and University Foundation Studies, with the majority of students coming from Asian countries.

History

Built in 1878, Elm Court House was purchased in 1891 by the Dominican Nuns of West Maitland, who opened an all girls school on 2 February 1891 known as Mount St. Mary's Convent School. Later becoming known as the Dominican Convent school. On 22 October 1984 it was purchased by the Sisters of St Paul de Chartres opening in 1986 as Aurora College. In 1997 Sister Angelina Fong arrived as School Director and changed its name from Aurora College to St Paul's International College.[1]

St Paul's was initially a senior secondary school catering for years 11 and 12 (ages 17 and 18). In 2009 enrolment was open for years 9 and 10 (aged 15 and 16), and in 2012 for years 7 and 8 (ages 13 and 14).

In January 2020, about 35 international students who have returned to school after visiting China are in lockdown. The move was made following growing concerns about the potentially lethal Coronavirus.[2]
