School Profile

School Profile

St Paul’s School was opened in 1928 and until 1993, was operated by the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, whose secondary college for girls’, OLSH, is located across Jasper Road. The main school building was designed as a church, with three classrooms on an upper level, and the building retains many of the original church features.

The parish school site is typical of those established at that time. The church, parish centre and school are in very close proximity. The majority of play surfaces are asphalt, however the school is fortunate to have daily use of a well maintained municipal reserve across Higgins Road for sport and recreation. Our three tennis courts are soon to be resurfaced with modgrass and will provide an additional play area for children.
