Cathedral School of St Anne and St James Cathedral School of St Anne and St James Archive. [Archive] (Unpublished)
Summary
St Anne's Church of England Girls School opened in Townsville in July 1917. By 1921 the school had grown considerably occupying a site bounded by Wills, Stokes and Walker Streets in the city centre. School operations were dislocated during 1941-42. Service personnel took over the school's premises and the school's operations were transferred to a site in Ravenswood. After World War II school operations expanded and a site away from the crowded city centre was needed. Land was bought in Aitkenvale in 1953 and the new school opened in August 1958.
From 1970 boys were enrolled as day students. In 1979-80 the name of the school was changed to The Cathedral School of St Anne and St James.
The Archive consists of Principal Speech Night Reports from 1918 to 1989.
