The former Convent of the Good Shepherd,
the most important Catholic institutional
complex constructed in Victoria, is notable
for its scale and extent, the architectural
qualities of the buildings and its range of building types.
Some outstanding features are the medieval
French ecclesiastic architectural character,
the historical importance of the Industrial School
and the Magdalen Asylum, the scale and grandeur
of the main convent building and formal gardens,
and the aesthetic qualities of the surrounding
farmland and rural setting.
