[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. In 2006, the primary schools merged together and was renamed St. Paul's Co-educational Primary School.
