Mt St Michael's College The first, and only, Sisters of Charity secondary school in Queensland is Mt St Michael's founded at Ashgrove in 1928. At the invitation of the Archbishop of Brisbane, the sisters established a convent at 'Grantuly' Ashgrove in 1925 and set up a primary school in rooms within the convent. The re-location of the primary school in 1928 enabled the opening of a secondary school 'Grantuly College'. In 1941, a new building was erected and the school re-named Mt St Michael's College (www.msm.qld.edu.au). Sister Mary Gerard Ryan was appointed founding Principal of what soon became a very fine College, with a reputation for academic excellence, music, and sport. In 1993 the last Sister of Charity Principal resigned and Mrs Narelle Mullins was appointed the following year as Mt St Michael's first Lay Principal.
