History

The school was founded by the Sisters of Charity of Australia in 1902. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The school was originally in East Melbourne. [6] The land on which the school was built was bought by Mother Mary Berchmans Daly in 1898. [6]

Under the mother-rectress Mary Catherine Bruton or Mother Canice, in post from 1914, the school performed well in examinations, and the study of science subjects began. [7]

When Damien Broderick's mother attended the school in the 1930s, it was "moderately upmarket". [8]

The school moved to Eltham in 1971. [6]
