Stella Maris College is a congregational Catholic girls school founded by the Good Samaritan Sisters in Sydney, Australia. The college is located in Manly, on Sydney's Northern Beaches. In 1881 the original house of the newly formed Good Samaritan Sisters was dedicated as Star of the Sea Convent. On the same site, the Industrial School for Girls opened to care for neglected children and orphans. Stella Maris College opened as a school with 33 pupils (including two small boys) from Kindergarten to Intermediate Certificate, in 1931. The school stopped admitting boys in 1942, and in 1944 Stella Maris dropped the offering of the primary section.
