The original school was started in a house in Pietermaritz Street in 1892, on one acre of land. The school later moved to Bulwer Street. The extant boarding hostel on 231 Prince Alfred Street was later used by Grey's Hospital, and in the late 1980s used by riot police units. After years of neglect and abuse, a demolition permit was applied for, but was declined. (Source: Natalia v22).
