Chaplaincy
Welcome to Chaplaincy at Digby Stuart College
Here at Digby Stuart College, we have a wonderful and rich heritage gifted to us by our founders, the Society of the Sacred Heart, and their vision and commitment to educating and celebrating the whole person still sits at the heart of what we do.
History
Digby Stuart College was founded by the Society of the Sacred Heart Sisters (RSCJ) in 1874 as a centre to train and inspire women who would go on to serve in education as teachers and leaders.
