Today there are two Catholic Primary R-6 Schools in the Glenelg Parish. Catholic education in the parish began when the first Church was opened on the 6th June, 1869. The following day the newly formed Sisters of St. Joseph began teaching in the Church and this school eventually evolved into St Mary’s Memorial School. The Dominican Sisters assumed the responsibility of this ministry in 1902.

In 1954, Our Lady of Grace School was established by the Dominican Sisters. Situated in the suburb of Glegowrie, Our Lady of Grace Parish School is one of two R-6 primary schools in the Glenelg Parish within the South West quarter of Adelaide. It has approximately 200 students and operates within the Dominican Tradition. You can access the School Website below.
