History

Hamilton Hill Primary School was opened in 1903 to ease the pressure of numbers on Coogee School. One of the inaugural group of 33 children was a four year old, enrolled to make up a viable number for the opening of a new school. In 1978 the school had a 75th Anniversary function which included a Reunion Day and a function in the Hall in the evening. When the old Hamilton Hill School closed the site was occupied by the Calvary Christian School. The site is presently part of a plan for future roadworks.
