Mount Erin Heritage

A Glimpse of Mount Erin's Rich Heritage

Mount Erin has a very strong heritage stemming from the original Boarding School which opened in 1890. The current Mount Erin Boarding precinct is set on beautiful historic grounds, adjacent to Kildare Catholic College. 

St Brigid’s School was established in 1877 and situated in the convent upstairs and directly above St. Mary’s School which was opened as the new Sacred Heart Presentation Convent. It initially operated in the lower floor of the western wing of the convent. In 1890 St Brigid’s moved to the new Boarding School building at the eastern end of the convent. In 1892 St Brigid’s was renamed St Eugene’s School.
