Our History
St Monica's has a rich history behind its community, stemming from the opening in 1892.
St Monica's Catholic Primary was established in 1892 by the Sisters of Mercy. It consisted of a small lean-to at the back of the Sacristy. The first Pastor was Fr James Joseph Mahoney, who supported the sisters in their work and guided the Parish through its first year.
In 1918 the first of the school buildings was erected, and in 1955 extra buildings were added.
By 1971, the school's enrolment had increased to 475 and another building was erected to expand the school site.
In 2010 a new building project was completed, including the construction of open learning areas and the installation of contemporary technology to support learning.
St Monica's continues to evolve in order to meet the learning needs of our students and we look to the future with excitement and hope.
