St Jo's Primary School, Port Chalmers ex students

St Jo's Primary School, Port Chalmers ex students In 1898 Mother Mary MacKillop, and two Josephite Sisters, arrived into Dunedin on the request of Fr. McMullen the parish priest of Port Chalmers.

They were there to do ‘God’s work with God’s children’. Mary is now recognized as one of the Catholic Church’s newest saint - Saint Mary MacKillop and is also known as Saint Mary of the Cross. When they arrived they found the old school, then called St Mary’s School, to be less than adequate. It was an old shed-like house and in a sad state of disrepair. The Sisters called upon the divine inspirat

ion of St Joseph to help repair the old and cold house to make it more habitable. The new school, St Joseph’s Primary School, was opened at the end of January 1898.

Wow everyone, over 70 likes! I am proud to say I went to St Joseph's Port Chalmer's. I got a great education and have amazing memories from a place where a child was allowed to be a child. Does anyone have any photos?

For all of you who went to St Joseph's, feel free to send the page around to other alumni. It's also a great way to find FB pages of childhood friends that you lost touch with!
