Guilford Young College - Hobart Campus

Hobart Campus

The Hobart Campus is situated in Barrack Street, not far from Hobart’s CBD. Although much more confined than its Glenorchy counterpart, the Hobart Campus commands stunning views over the city to the Derwent River and the Eastern Shore.

In recent years, this campus has undergone an extensive building program which has provided a new catering suite, uniform shop, photography laboratory, classrooms, computer labs, and a gym. The Hobart Campus also contains a canteen, chapel, staff rooms, library, uniform shop and offices. While most subjects are taught on both campuses, some students do travel between campuses to pursue their chosen line of study.

Both campuses also provide sporting facilities.

Originally, the Hobart Campus was the site for the first St Virgil’s College, which was opened by the Christian Brothers in 1911. GYC played a significant role in the April 2011 celebrations marking the centenary of SVC, now situated in nearby Patrick Street (Years 3-6) and Austins Ferry (Year 7-10). A cemetery associated with SVC is also on the site.
