Who We Are

St. John Fisher College is a residential college established in 1963. Situated at the base of the beautiful Mount Nelson nestled between picturesque Aussie bush.
Fisher has around 110 residents, which means that we are by far the smallest college, and this is why we are the best!
Here at John Fisher, we enjoy social activities as well as studying opportunities and sporting events.
We take our social, educational, and sporting achievements very seriously here at John Fisher; however, sporting achievements, as you will soon find out, are less about the sport and more about the FUN, making friends, and socially defeating our opponents, Christ College, Hobart City, and Jane Franklin Hall.

The Fisher mascot is the HELLFISH, and our colours are royal blue and white; these can often be seen roaming the halls or on the sporting field.
