History

Monte Sant'Angelo is the oldest independent girls' school on Sydney's North Shore. The college was established in 1865, on the corner of Miller and McLaren Street, North Sydney, by Mother Ignatius McQuoin of the Sisters of Mercy.[8]

By 1879, the school had outgrown its original site and subsequently moved to its current location at Miller Street. The name of the College is taken from Monte Sant'Angelo, a centre of religion, culture and learning in Gargano, Italy.[8]

The musical "Annie" was a huge hit 2008, as it is a well-known musical. In 2009, the Broadway musical "Les Miserables" was performed with a collaboration from Aloys and St. Mary's male students. Receiving outstanding reviews from the public, the school musicals are performed every second year.

In 2012 Monte collaborated with local boys schools to produce a stage version of "Beauty and the Beast" and in 2014, "Hairspray". In 2018 Monte collaborated with other local boys schools for their production of "High School Musical".

House Plays

The most popular performing act in Monte is 'House Plays'; a type of musical that each colour house choreographs and later performs. The plays are run entirely by the year eleven students, who choose music, dance routines, story line and performance costumes for their house. Although the plays are not compulsory (excluding year seven who must participate) they are vastly popular amongst the school, and many students look forward to the event each year. Practices are held on Fridays and Saturdays at the school, however only lasts over four weeks, making the entire process very busy and often stressful. The performance is generally held on a Saturday, with a matinee performance added to the schedule in 2009. The criteria of House Plays are usually the theme and message, but visuals and music are also judged, generally with a large amount of controversy over the final decision.
