School History & Details

On August 19, 1867, Camberwell Primary School debuted in a makeshift 40-by-12-foot structure across from the current school location. The reason for this was that not enough money had been raised to start construction. Thirty-four children were present. The new school building (which still contains Rooms 7 and 8) was opened on its current location on May 6, 1868. Up to 150 pupils were to be educated there. In 1872, the Education Act went into force, making education free and mandatory. There were now 186 students at Camberwell Primary School. Forrester's Hall, a 38-by-14-foot structure across the street, was rented by the school.
