Rock Castle was originally built by Henry O'Hara in 1834.[1] The castle was extended in 1844 and then passed to the Crombie family before being sold to the Dominican Sisters in 1917.[1] The Dominican College "is concerned not merely with imparting knowledge and skills, which have their place, but, more importantly with training pupils to think, to evaluate and to make decisions."[2]
