St Mary's Cathedral College (SMCC) is a private, Catholic, secondary day school for boys', located in the Central Business District of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Founded in 1824, St Mary's currently caters for approximately 800 students from Years 5 to 12, and is attached to St Mary's Cathedral. The school is currently serviced by the Congregation of Christian Brothers and was the last school in Sydney to be served by Christian Brothers as both Principal and Deputy Principal.

History

St Marys Cathedral College was established in 1824 as an elementary school by Reverend John Therry, but was not until 1828 that a high school was established. It is one of the oldest Catholic Schools in Australia

St Mary's Cathedral College is conducted by the Christian Brothers and administered by the Catholic Education Office, Eastern Region. The Christian Brothers association with the school dates back to 1911.

Catholic education on the same site as St Mary's Cathedral has been continuous since the 1824, except during the construction of the existing College buildings and the associated Bishops quarters (1987-1991). Schools on the site have been provided with staff by the Benedictine Monks (1824-1882), the Marist Brothers (1883-1910), Sisters of Charity (1883-1967), lay teachers, Christian Brothers and now Christian Brothers and lay staff.

Br. D Standen, CFC is the current College Headmaster alongside with the first assistant, Mr M. Hanratty.

The College also supports sporting sides in all CBSA sports and carnivals. Other extra curricular activities students at the college may participate in include: Debating, Public Speaking, Mock Trial, Duke of Edinburgh, Soup Kitchen at the Vincentian Village and helping at the Matt Talbot homeless hostel. More recently, the college implemented the Fairtrade program run by Year 10 students. The project is lead by Brother Peter Hancock CFC

Being located next to St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney the mother church of Australia, is a significant boon to the Catholic spirituality taught to all students at the College.
