Statement of Significance
Non contributory properties include:
- 488-490 & 492A Victoria Street
- 1-12/44 Hunter Street
The significance of the school complex has been diminished by the rendering of the face brickwork and the 1998 conversion into apartments. The moderne facade on Victoria Street is a small but notable example of the type.

It has groups of multi-paned timber-framed double-hung sash windows, some with awning highlights. The Victoria Street section has a terracotta tiled roof; the section to the rear a slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles.
The building has been fully rendered. A small protruding section to Victoria Street has a heavy rendered parapet above a narrow concrete projection. The parapet, dating from the 1930s, bears the name of the school beneath a circular moderne motif.
