St Dominic's Priory School (Official)

St Dominic's Priory School (Official) St Dominic’s Priory is a Catholic, independent, co-educational School. Pre-Grade R to Grade 12 They established the Holy Rosary
Convent there.

In 1867 six foundresses left Sion Hill, Dublin, and set sail for a missionary
station in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Two other Catholic schools were also established in Port Elizabeth in the
following years: Marist Brothers College for boys (started by the Marist
Brothers) and Saint Dominic’s Priory (started by the Cabra Dominican Sisters). Holy Rosary Convent, Marist Brothers College and Priory High then merged to
form Trinity High School – for boys and girls. A Junior School continued to exist
at the Priory. They took up residence in the Holy Rosary Convent buildings in
Central, Port Elizabeth. Urban decline and economic factors resulted in this
hopeful venture being reassessed and a move to Priory being undertaken in
2000. The Holy Rosary buildings were sold. St Dominic’s Priory, as it exists today, consists of a co-educational pre-school,
a junior school and a high school. We celebrate our history in the names of our school houses: Marcellin (for the
founder of the Marist Brothers), Rosary (for the Holy Rosary Convent) and Trinity
(for the amalgamated school, so hopefully started in Central).

Well done to our 1st Team Cricket boys on a great tour to East London.

They won one and lost three and, sadly, the last one was abandoned due to rain but played brilliantly.
