This building has just been completed, and the very satisfactory and prompt manner in which it has been finished reflects great credit upon the architect and contractors. It is a plain building in the Elizabethan style , two stories high, 42 feet long and 19 feet wide; and so far as the nature of the building admits, displays considerable architectural taste. The cost has been very small when we regard its appearance, the accommodation afforded by it, and the substantial manner in which it is erected. The amount of the contracts was £400, not including fittings, fencing, &c.

The upper room is occupied by the girls who met formerly in the Hall of the Total Abstinence Society: this latter room is now exclusively given up to the boys' school. The lower part of the building contains an infants' schoolroom, and a class-room attached to it, both of which are furnished with suitable galleries, and are appropriated to the use of the children who formerly assembled in the Swanston Street schoolroom, under the able care of Mrs. Heales. It may be expected that the improved accommodation which these premises afford will greatly promote the efficiency of the schools, and enable them to be brought up to the standard which they ought to maintain as the model schools of the Church of England.

The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge liberally granted two sums of £300 each, toward the erection of two school buildings in Melbourne; and one of these has been appropriated by the Right Rev. the Bishop to the erection of this building. As teachers are trained at these schools for employment elsewhere, this venerable Society will thus, we trust, contribute in a considerable degree, to the improvement of the education of the people, not only in the city itself but throughout the Diocese.
