Notes:
1911: Board of Education purchased 6.5 acres of land for the school and the school was built fronting Morley Street (later renamed Woodfield Road). It originally opened in a two-room portable in September to house overflow students from Leslie Street School. In November, construction began on the school building, with the Duke of Connaught (recently named Governor General of Canada) turning the first soil on the site.
1912: An additional portable is used. Tenders accepted for the school's construction. Cornerstone laid by the Duke of Connaught in September, who gives permission for the school to be named after him. His crest was sculpted in stone on the south front entrance of the building.
