Prior to European settlement, the land now occupied by St. Stanislaus' College formed part of the territory occupied by the
Wiradjuri people.cite web | last = Tindale | first = N.B. | authorlink = Norman Barnett Tindale | year = 1974 | url = http://www.samuseum.sa.gov.au/archives/HDMS/aa338/tindaletribes/wiradjuri.htm | title = Wiradjuri (NSW) | work = Aboriginal Tribes of Australia | publisher = South Australian Museum | accessdate = 2006-05-26]St Stanislaus' College was established in 1867. The school came under the control of the Vincentian's in
1889 , following the arrival of the Vincentian Fathers and Brothers fromIreland , with the purpose of taking over the college.In 1896, the college received much media attention when it became the site of the first
x-ray for medical purposes in Australia. This x-ray was taken by Father James Slattery on the 21st September, and showed the location of gunshot in the shattered hand of an ex-student.cite web |url=http://www.stockmansridge.com.au/aboutbathurst.htm |title=About Bathurst |accessdate=2007-06-27 |year =2007 |work=The Region |publisher=Stockman's Ridge Wines]Vincentians continued in the role of President and Headmaster at the College until the commencement of 1993, when it was decided to separate the two roles.
