Secondary

As you will have read in the section on primary education, the Sisters founded the first primary school at Tarmons, Potts Point in 1858. Known as St Vincent's Day School, its founding Principal was Sister Aloysius Raymond who not only conducted the school but also trained the younger sisters in the art of teaching. By 1861, St Vincent's School had received State recognition. Sisters and trainee teachers were paid a salary and all materials were supplied.
