Prior to this, there was two 7-10 Catholic High schools, one for boys (Saint Michael's Regional High School, Wagga) and one for girls (Mount Erin High School, Wagga). Then, in years 11 and 12, both schools merged to Trinity Senior High School, located at the current site of Kildare Catholic College, Wagga.
