St Dominic's Priory School is a pre-primary, primary, and secondary private Catholic school in the suburb of Walmer, in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa. It was founded in 1900.
History
In 1867, six foundresses left Durban and sailed to the missionary station in Port Elizabeth, where they founded the Holy Rosary Convent; it was followed by two other Catholic schools - Marist Brothers College for boys (started by the Marist Brothers) and St Dominic's Priory (started by the Cabra Dominican Sisters). Holy Rosary Convent, Marist Brothers College and Priory High then merged to form Trinity High School – for boys and girls. The Trinity High School moved to the Holy Rosary Convent buildings in Central, Port Elizabeth, while a junior school remained at the Priory. However in 2000, urban decline and economic factors led to the move of Trinity High School to the Priory buildings with the Holy Rosary buildings were sold.
