Principal’s Message
History
The school opened with 28 pupils in Miranda church hall in January 1950. The Presentation Sisters (Wagga congregation), who had recently established a convent in Sutherland, agreed to staff it.
In recent years the school was refurbished. At the beginning of 2010, the extension of the library and the new multi-purpose room were completed and ready for use. The COLA (Covered Outdoor Learning Area) and new rubber surface were completed with a grant through the Building the Education Revolution Project and was opened in March 2010. It was blessed by Bishop Julian Porteous.
