St Monica's College, Epping, originally began its operations as an annexe to St Peter's Primary School in 1964 under the auspices of the
Sisters of the Good Samaritan. A growing population in the area made it clear that a fully functioning secondary school would soon be needed and the College at Epping was planned and building commenced in 1966. The name, ''St Monica's'', was bestowed on the College by Archbishop Simonds in 1966 but it was not until February 1967 that the completed buildings in Davisson Street were officially blessed and opened by Bishop Moran.
Principals Between 1965 and 1989 the schools principals were all members of a
Catholic order of
nuns known as the
Sisters of the Good Samaritan or S.G.S. In 1990 a lay principal was appointed for the first time.
Principal's Dinner The school holds an annual Principal's Dinner about halfway through the school year, a celebration and gathering for students, their parents (or guardians), and staff. The school has received criticism for insisting that students with a deceased or unavailable parent may not use their tickets for a sibling or other member of their support network. ==Facilities==
