The Students

This project site contains a complete biographical register of all student attendees, 1862-1918. This covers all 1,808 students. Each biographical entry gives an indication of origin, notable achievements at the College, their digitised Record Card written by the Principal, and destination and major recorded life events after graduating from the College. Individual entries are organised chronologically (and then alphabetically within) by cohort of entry and can be browsed in this manner. You can also search within this collection below:
