On 26 March 1860, thirty-two students had their first day of school in Our Lady of Mount Carmel School which was a single classroom built of bluestone and timber. Within two years, the enrolment doubled to 64. In 1974, the School Board of O.L.M.C. advised Fr. Jim Feehan to build a second school in Sunbury and to name it St Anne’s which opened in 1976.
Today is a great milestone in the life of the People of God in this area of Bulla, Clarkefield, Diggers Rest, Sunbury and Wildwood. We rejoice in the commitment of parents, teachers and priests to provide a Catholic school for 150 years, during which time the parents fully funded the school from 1872 to 1973 as there was no government funding for a century. Currently, there is a total of 785 students in our parish schools, plus 1,072 in Salesian Secondary College.
