St. Louis School was a Catholic boys’ school in Claremont, Western Australia, between 1938 and 1976. ==History== St. Louis School was a Catholic boys’ school founded by the Jesuits – their only school in Western Australia. It opened on 23 May 1938 in Claremont in the western suburbs of Perth, on the site of the former Hinemoa Homestead which had been sold to the Catholic Church in 1932.〔St. Louis Estate History: http://www.stlouisestate.com.au/history.php〕 The homestead building was used for the Junior School, while new buildings were erected to house the Senior School, the Jesuit community, and the boarders. The School was named after Aloysius Gonzaga, an early Jesuit saint, also known as Luís de Gonzaga. Its motto was “Altiora Peto” (“I seek higher things”). The Jesuits ran the School until 1971, when it was handed over to the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth. Archbishop Lancelot Goody appointed a School Council chaired by Judge John Lavan to manage the School.〔Province Express: a newsletter of the Australian Jesuits: http://www.express.org.au/article.aspx?aeid=7593〕 St. Louis School amalgamated with the Loreto Convent girls’ school to form John XXIII College, which opened in 1977. The site of St. Louis School is now occupied by the St. Louis Retirement Estate, which has preserved the old homestead building.〔St. Louis Estate History: http://www.stlouisestate.com.au/history.php〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Louis School, Claremont, Western Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
