Historical information

Kew East Primary School officially opened on 25th April 1892. The school relocated to its current site on Kitchener Street in 1923, with the addition of the three-storey brick building in 1929. In the early 1920s, Kew East Primary became a Central School, offering secondary classes until district high schools were established. Additional buildings, including a canteen, library, Rural Training School (now demolished), classrooms, and a new library in 1973, were added to the site over the years.
