History
Regina Mundi College was founded by Margaret “Daisy” Corrigan in 1961 at Endsleigh House on Douglas Road. In 1979 the original house was demolished to make way for a new, spacious school building, which was completed in 1981 and remains the college’s present premises. The founder’s emphasis on excellence continues to shape the school’s spirit and educational philosophy.
