Location
This school opened in 1873, replacing an old school opened in 1857 in a loft in Stockton Street, and closed in 1957 when children were transferred to the nearby new St Joseph's Primary. The school was damaged in World War 2 and the empty Exchange School in nearby Reed Street was also used by St Joseph's until 1957. The old building on the corner of Whitby and Musgrave Streets was demolished in 1967
