St. John Fisher College (University of Tasmania)
- St. John Fisher College (University of Tasmania)
History
St John Fisher College at the University of Tasmania was established in 1963 and built by the Catholic Church and its community. The college was named after 16th century scholar John Fisher and provides accommodation for around 100 students. It is located in Sandy Bay, Tasmania, Australia, on campus at the University of Tasmania. The smallest of the three residential colleges at the University of Tasmnia (Christ College and Jane Franklin Hall being the other two), St. John Fisher College is a tight knit community, with a strong sense of camaraderie and college spirit.
In 1990 the college received national attention when a hazing scandal was aired on a current affairs program.
SJFC Today
After forty-four years of life, the college is currently nearing the end of an extensive renovation period, that has equipped it with state-of-the-art facilities, from the residents' rooms, to a new dining room (shared with Christ College), to I.T. facilities and bathrooms. This new lease on life has left Fisher a modern, and much desired place to stay for university students studying away from home.
College Spirit + Sport
College Colours are royal blue and white, and the playing uniform for sports is the traditional striped rugby top with the 'Vatican V' logo. The 'hellfish' is a symbol held dear to the hearts of Fishermen and Fisherwomen. Whilst being the smallest of the three residential colleges in Hobart, St John Fisher College's presence can still be felt on the sporting fields. Sports played include Rugby, Australian Rules Football, Soccer, Netball, Softball, Cricket, Table Tennis, and Volleyball.
