History
St. Angela's is a Roman Catholic school started in February 1862 by four sisters of the Ursuline order from Belgium.[2]
The school's first science lab was in 1907
The nuns bought a semi-detached house and bought the rest the following year. This property is known as "Old House" by the school. The nuns who soon became eight[2] were inspired by the vision of their founder who became the school's namesake. In 1862 the school expanded to other buildings. The school had no uniform until 1877.[2]
In 1907 the school's first science lab was created.
