St Stanislaus' College is a Roman Catholic, day and boarding school for boys, conducted by the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul's priests and brothers. It is located in Bathurst, a regional centre 200 km west of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The college is the oldest Catholic boys' boarding school in Australia, and currently caters for approximately 710 students from Years 7 to 12, including 200 boarders. St Stanislaus' College is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), and is a member of the Independent Schools Association (ISA). Prior to European settlement, the land now occupied by St. Stanislaus' College formed part of the territory occupied by the Wiradjuri people. St Stanislaus' College was established in 1867. The school came under the control of the Vincentians in 1889, following the arrival of the Vincentian Fathers and Brothers from Ireland, with the purpose of taking over the college. In 1896, the college received much media attention when it became the site of the first x-ray for medical purposes in Australia.
