The Convent School, Darwin, was the first Catholic School established in Darwin. It opened on Cavanagh Street in 1908 in a galvanised iron structure built on the same grounds as the convent building which was called St Joseph’s. The Convent School was run by Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. From 1909, as well as teaching at the day school, the Convent took in a small number of girls as boarders. In 1912 the Convent School, Darwin, was officially named St Joseph’s School.
