St Andrew's Anglican Church
Church Terrace, Walkerville
As in other early settled areas, the various branches of Methodism were represented early in Walkerville.
The first of the Wesleyan Churches had been constructed in Smith Street in 1844 next to the cemetery. The church was later extended and in 1912, it was replaced by the third Methodist Church on the site in Smith Street, now known as the Uniting Church.
The first Anglican Church in Walkerville was St Andrew's Anglican Church constructed in 1847. Later churches included two Congregational Churches, one on Main North Road, built in 1881 and demolished after a fire in the 1960s, and the Thomas Memorial Congregational Church in Park Terrace, which was constructed in 1910.
St Monica's Roman Catholic Church was built in 1953 following the successful establishment of a school in the late 1920s.
All of the early churches had associated educational facilities, the most significant of these was St Andrew's School, which opened in 1850.
Other schools were operating within Walkerville. During the 1850s and 1860s, a number of small private, one-teacher schools, flourished.
The most significant of these went on to become Wilderness School for Girls, which was opened in 1884.
Walkerville Primary School was established by the State Government in 1885 and Vale Park Primary School was opened in 1965 to cater for the new residential area, which had developed in that suburb.
