Bishop's College, Thursday Island

The Bishop's College was a short-lived Australian educational institution on Thursday Island, Queensland, established in 1900. It trained candidates for ordination in the Anglican Church of Australia (which, at the time, was called the Church of England in Australia), specifically for the Diocese of Carpentaria. It should not be confused with St Paul's Theological College, Moa, established in 1917 on nearby Moa Island but which for some of its history was located on Thursday Island: St Paul's was established for native students, while Bishop's College was established for white students.
