The first Mass was said on the 27 May 1903, and in April of the next year a new church-school building was ready for use and the sisters moved to Leederville. They lived in a cottage on the corner of Marian and Shakespeare Street. The school was facing Marian Street and was situated where the main playing/recreation area is located now. The Convent and the school were very much intertwined. In the early days and during the war, 12 girls boarded at Arranmore.
