College Governance

St Paul’s College was established by law in 1854. From the beginning, the College has been governed by a Council made up of the Warden and Fellows.

The Saint Paul’s College Act 2018 (NSW) updated the College’s governance to reflect contemporary standards. The Act reduced the size of the Council and strengthened its diversity. Today, the Council consists of the Warden and twelve Fellows.

The Act also gives the Council authority to make By-Laws that guide how the College operates. These By-Laws apply to the entire College community and are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain up to date.
