History:

Holy Rosary School is an inner-city parish primary school, just 4 kms from Melbourne’s CBD. It was established in 1915, under the care of the Sisters of Mercy. Ongoing extension and refurbishment ensures our facilities meet current educational needs.

Holy Rosary is focused on building a community that reflects our Mercy heritage. The Mercy qualities of welcome, hospitality, inclusion and service, especially to those in need, are the hallmarks of our community. The words of our school song suggest our mission, 'We believe in strength, love and kindness. We will be light to those around us'.
