The Sisters of St Elizabeth of Hungary was a British Anglican Order of nuns. They arrived in the Anglican Diocese of Bunbury in 1928 to help British group settlers in that district. Their convent was in Spencer Street. With a donation from a supporter, they built and ran the Mary Clementina Hostel for Girls who went to the Bunbury High School.
