Sacred Heart College is a school in New Town, Tasmania with an enrolment of around 1000 students. A second primary campus in the nearby suburb of Lenah Valley has around 250 students on what was formerly Immaculate Heart of Mary school. S.H.C, is a Catholic, co-ed college for Years Kinder-grade 10. It was founded in 1888. Between 1888 and 1908, Sacred Heart School was conducted by dedicated Catholic lay teachers, among whom was Ethel Saye, who later became well-known to generations of pupils as Sr. M Josephine, the Infant Mistress. In 1908, the Sisters of St Joseph came to New Town to take charge of the School, then known as Sacred Heart Parish School. Sr. M Gabriel Reidy was the first religious Principal. The number of pupils attending the school grew steadily with the expansion of the city of Hobart into the northern suburbs. In 1938, a training centre, or novitiate for student Sisters was purchased. The building, then known as "Restormel" is now the Quinlan Building, and the property on which it stood is now occupied by the secondary school.
