St John's Primary School

Website
St John’s School was opened in 1948 by the Sisters of Mercy. The majority of original students were from European migrant families living in the local area. Most of the school was built by voluntary labour.
In 1950, the Dominican Sisters from Dongara took over responsibility for the parish school and Sr Mary Albertus O.P. was the first Superior.
Enrolment peaked in 1958 with small numbers going on to Junior and Leaving Certificate (Years 10 and 12). Prior to 1983, boys transferred to other schools after Year 3. 1958 also saw the employment of the first lay teacher.
