Statement of Significance
The Convent of the Good Shepherd School, built in 1905 to the design of the architectural firm Reed Smart and Tappin, is of historical and architectural significance at a local level.
Historically, the school is significant as a remnant of the large complex of convent buildings that spread over this and adjacent sites in Beaconsfield Parade from 1892 to 1975, and illustrates one aspect of the services that the convent offered to the surrounding community.
Architecturally, the school is significant for its blend of austere Gothic details typical of religious buildings of the late nineteenth century with details associated with contemporary domestic styles such as the shingled balcony front. The school, seen above and behind its boundary wall, is a prominent element of the foreshore streetscape.
