Mount Carmel College is an independent Roman Catholic single-sex primary and secondary day school for girls, located in Sandy Bay, a suburb of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
"Little Mount Carmel" began in a house in View Street, Sandy Bay, and transferred to "Lauramont" on its present site in 1947.
Ten years later St. Joseph’s closed and secondary classes were transferred to Mount Carmel which developed into a Preparatory to Grade 12 College.
Large building programmes in the 1960s and the 1980s saw the College continue to expand and develop its resources and specialist facilities.
Mount Carmel College is located on a single campus on a site overlooking the Derwent River in suburban Sandy Bay, just 5–10 minutes to the Hobart city centre.
These works include the creation of a meeting room and toilet renovation in the Lauramont building (2000), the refurbishment of the primary toilets (2000), refurbishment of the Science Laboratories and the creation of a sacred space (2001), the purchase and renovation of the former Convent, now known as Providence House (February, 2002), the refurbishment of primary classrooms (2003), the refurbishment of secondary classrooms (January, 2004), the creation of the Arts Technology building (completed February, 2004), resurfacing of the tennis court area and the most recent project, the Library and Classroom redevelopment (completed August, 2005).
Grade 9 and 10's have six core subjects(English, History, Theology and Spirituality, maths, science, HPE) and choose three electives.
The School has debating and Tournament of Minds teams, offers involvement in outreach projects( e.g. visits to help at Bethlehem house, a homeless shelter), and supports various charities, particularly St Vincent De Paul.
Mount Carmel also competes in academic competitions, and programs like the Premier's Reading Challenge.
