[edit] History

It was founded in 1915 at Glenealy as St. Paul's Co-educational Primary School, and was moved to Calder Path (junction Macdonnell Road) in 1953. The school was changed from full-day into AM and PM modes. In 1999, both primary schools resumed full-day education. St. Paul's Co-educational PM Primary School moved to the current site at Kennedy Road, and changed to the present name. The AM school remains at Macdonnell Road and was renamed accordingly.
