Guilford Young College is a Catholic senior secondary college, located in Hobart, Tasmania. It has two campuses, one in Hobart, and one in Glenorchy. The College provides Years 11 and 12 education, offering more than 100 Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE), pre-tertiary and Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses. It is named after Archbishop Sir Guilford Young, who served as Archbishop of Hobart 1955-1988.
Guilford Young College was founded in 1994 and opened to students in 1995, having been established by the Archdiocese of Hobart, the Christian Brothers, the Dominican Sisters, the Salesians of Don Bosco, the Sisters of Charity and the Sisters of Saint Joseph. The College was established after a restructuring of the Catholic education system in southern Tasmania which saw a number of Catholic high schools hand over their senior secondary classes (Years 11 and 12) to create one senior secondary college. Its formation fulfilled a vision, originally articulated by the eighth Archbishop of Hobart, the Most Rev. Sir Guilford Young, to build a Catholic senior secondary college in Hobart which would provide excellence in learning for young men and women within a community of faith. GYC is commissioned to continue the great traditions and the spirit of the founding orders and the colleges which contributed to its foundation.
The Catholic colleges associated with GYC are: Sacred Heart College, New Town; Mount Carmel College, Sandy Bay; St Virgil's College, Austins Ferry; Dominic College, Glenorchy; MacKillop Catholic College, Mornington; St James Catholic College, Cygnet; St Aloysius Catholic College, Huntingfield
