The school had moved from Star of the Sea (St James) to Kalk Bay. Built by Kenneth Mann. "It was decided to move St James Mission School, and in 1947 Monsignor Doran had a school built at Kalk Bay. The school building was erected on a site of approximately 500 sqm next to the fisherfolks' flats, and was utilized both as a chapel for the local people and as a school. After having existed in St James for close on 75 years, St James School returned to Kalk Bay. In the meantime the old Mission School building at Star of the Sea was renovated and reconstructed to meet the needs of a school hall and later demolished to make room for the present hall... Two classrooms were added (in c. 1956)." (Source: Kalk Bay Historical Association, Bulletin 2, p57) Today it is the St James Primary School.
