The college is named after St. Louise de Marrilac who co-founded the Daughters of Charity with St. Vincent de Paul. Sister Genevieve (Mary) O'Farrell was appointed one of the first Principals. She held the position for 25 years during which period the school grew in size from 1,000 to 2,400 students becoming the largest single-sex school in Europe.
