Administrative history

Originally built in 1849 as the High School of Hobart Town by a group of gentleman connected with the Presbyterian and free churches. The object of the institution, as originally described, was 'the instruction of youth in the higher brances of learning, as taught in superior classical and mathematical schools in England', the ultimate object being 'to confer on Australian youth the inestimable advantages of an European University'. The school opened in 1850 and 56 boys were enrolled in the first quarter. For more information see https://sparc.utas.edu.au/index.php/high-school-of-hobart-town-2
