The former St. Joseph's Convent, constructed of weatherboard, was originally built in 1902 to house the Sisters of St. Joseph, with provision for boarding students from surrounding rural districts. Additions were made in 1922 to cater for increased demand as more children boarded while attending the St. Joseph School.

Heated by two slow combustion fireplaces as well as electric heating. The building is serviced by mains power, mains sewerage connections and a 500L water tank. A single car garage at rear of the building.
The former St. Joseph's School was purpose built in 1907, catering for 120 students. In 1941, a large verandah and additional classrooms were added to accommodate for growing numbers, remaining in operation until 1982.
Built of solid brick with an iron roof, the former school comprised of three large classrooms, office space, kitchenette, storeroom, and a separate toilet block. The building has electric heating and is connected to mains power.
