History

The Beaconsfield Catholic parish and school was established from 1903 by Sisters Camillus and Alcoque, who were Sister of St Joseph, who walked from St Patrick’s in Fremantle to start a school. The original school site is believed to have comprised only a weatherboard church and classroom. The weatherboard classrooms were replaced in the 1970s. Christ the King School was vacated in 1997 when the school relocated to larger premises in York Street, Beaconsfield. The school at Lefroy Road was demolished in 1999 to make way for a retirement complex, ‘Beacon Hill Village’.
