School History & Details

Under the Country High School Hostels Authority, the college was first established in 1974 as Amity House and had its extensions finished in 1993. Around the corner on Burt Street, the Priory Hostel joined forces with Amity House in 1989, and this heritage-listed structure is still in use as a private home today. More recently, the college reopened as Albany Residential College in 2010 after undergoing extensive renovations. Eight rural residential colleges, including Albany, and one city-based residential college came under the Department of Education's jurisdiction in 2017.
