The College opened at Liverpool, NSW in 1856. It owed its existence to two people. The first was an early settler in Sydney, Thomas Moore, who left his estate to the Church of England for educational purposes. The second was the Anglican Bishop of Sydney, Frederic Barker. During its long history, the College has had thirteen principals and close to 4,000 graduates. In 1891 the College moved from Liverpool to Newtown.
