Originally called the Christian Brothers College, Maryborough, Saint Mary's College is a parish school which comprises the amalgamated schools of the Christian Brothers College, Maryborough, and Saint Mary's Girls High School. The Christian Brothers school was originally opened on Sunday September 2nd, 1888, by Roman Catholic Archbishop James Duhig . This school was amalgamated in 1979 with the Sisters of Mercy school, Maryborough, and was renamed Saint Mary's College, Maryborough.
This Secondary college is a Parish school but is affiliated and administered through the auspices of the Brisbane Catholic Education Vicariate, also known as "BCE".
Although staffed and named a Christian Brothers school from 1888-1979 it was in fact a Parish school, owned and overseen by the Roman Catholic Parish of Saint Mary's Maryborough.
