St. Mary's Primary School was opened in May 1842 in a timber chapel. The first teacher/principal was Mr. John Wilson. In July 1844 the enrolment was 6 boys & 8 girls. Since 1842, three school buildings have been built. The current premises received an official blessing at its opening on 19th January, 1926. The Sisters of the Faithful Companions of Jesus arrived on 1st September 1897 and were the first religious community to take charge of the school. The Sisters of St. Joseph continued this role from 1900 until 1998. In 1994, the school was subject to major refurbishment.
It has operated on the same site since 1842, making it the oldest continuously operating school in Victoria[1].
