History
History
The school was founded by the Sisters of Charity of Australia in 1902. The school was originally in East Melbourne. The land on which the school was built was bought by Mother Mary Berchmans Daly in 1898. 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. When Damien Broderick's mother attended the school in the 1930s, it was "moderately upmarket". The school moved to Eltham in 1971.
