Saint Mary (of the Cross) MacKillop Australia’s first Saint, moved to Portland in April 1862 to work as a governess. In October 1863, she successfully applied for her first formal teaching position at Portland’s Catholic Denominational School and rented Bay View House from Portland pioneer Stephen Henty.
In Order to supplement her income, Mary established the Bay View House Seminary for Young Ladies, offering board and instruction in a range of subjects, with her sisters Maggie and Lexie acting as supervisors.
Mary remained in Portland until 1866, when she moved to Penola to help Father Julian Tenison Woods establish a school based on purely Catholic principles.
In 1884, the Loreto Sisters established their convent and school at Bay View House, purchasing the property outright in 1894.
In 1977, Loreto Convent became an ecumenical, co-educational school.
Today, the original Bay View House and Stables have been completely integrated into the current building of Bayview College before you.
The Munzee is in the obvious spot.
