Description:
Rare engraved view of St Peter’s school at Church Street West Maitland.
St Peter’s traces its foundation back to humble beginnings in a cottage in Hunter Street in 1838. At the time, a group of lay teachers established a school to educate Catholic primary school boys in the Maitland area. Known as St John’s Boys school, the school remained in Hunter Street until a new building was constructed in Free Church Street in 1874.
