History
St Anne's Diocesan College was founded by the Rt Revd William Macrorie, Bishop of Maritzburg and Miss Creswell in 1877 in the Manse Building in Pietermaritz Street in Pietermaritzburg. In 1878 the school was moved to the corner of Loop Street and Pine Street in Pietermartzburg. The move to its current location in the village of Hilton which lies above Pietermaritzburg was done in 1904.
In 1977 the tradition to wear white to the matric ball was started. The colour white was chosen as it symbolises purity and virginity.
