History
Guilford Young College was founded in 1994 and opened to students in 1995, having been established by the Archdiocese of Hobart, the Christian Brothers, the Dominican Sisters, the Salesians of Don Bosco, the Sisters of Charity and the Sisters of Saint Joseph. The College was established after a restructuring of the Catholic education system in southern Tasmania which saw a number of Catholic high schools hand over their senior secondary classes (Years 11 and 12) to create one senior secondary college. Its formation fulfilled a vision, originally articulated by the eighth Archbishop of Hobart, the Most Rev. Sir Guilford Young, to build a Catholic senior secondary college in Hobart which would provide excellence in learning for young men and women within a community of faith. GYC is commissioned to continue the great traditions and the spirit of the founding orders and the colleges which contributed to its foundation.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
