Governance

SSC CampusSanta Sabina College was founded in 1894, and has occupied the same site in Strathfield since that date.  As the College has expanded over the years, more land has been acquired both in Strathfield and in the Southern Highlands of NSW, and there has been ongoing development of facilities.

  • The College is an Independent Catholic School which is owned by the Congregation of Dominican Sisters of Eastern Australia and the Solomon Islands.  It was incorporated in 1987 as a Company Limited by Guarantee, with the Sisters of the Leadership Team being the Members of the Company.  The College is managed by a Board of Directors, who are appointed by the Members.
  • The Board of Directors has a strong commitment to preserving and fostering the Dominican ethos and values upon which the College was founded, and to promoting the Mission of the College as a Catholic school.
  • The Board is assisted in its work by a number of Sub-Committees which meet regularly.  The Principal of the College is the Chief Executive Officer to whom the Board delegates responsibility for the day to day management of the College and its enterprises.
