Wenona School's origins can be traced back to 1886 when Miss Edith Hooke, a distinguished figure in education, founded Woodstock School. Adopting the motto Ut Prosim, meaning that I may serve, Miss Hooke transferred this guiding principle to Wenona School when she established it in April 1913 as a preparatory institution. It replaced Woodstock and debuted with the same emblem, colors, and an initial group of 40 students. The naming of Wenona, inspired by Longfellow's poem The Song of Hiawatha, reflects Miss Hooke's admiration for literature, referring to Wenonah as the first daughter. After Miss Hooke departed from the school in February 1920 due to a family illness, Ms. Messiter, an alumna of Woodstock, temporarily oversaw the institution. Shortly afterward, in June 1920, Miss Edith Ralston, also a former student of Woodstock, took over as the Principal and owner of the school. By 1922, Miss Ralston had relocated Wenona to its permanent address on Walker Street, North Sydney, after acquiring a large property and initiating the school's inaugural boarding house. Under Miss Ralston's stewardship, Wenona flourished into a prominent educational establishment for girls, offering comprehensive academic programs from Kindergarten through to Year 12.
