In 1873 the site of McHugh Public School on Elliott and Craig Streets in the south ward was completely covered by dense bush. Fifty years later in 1923 McHugh Public School, formerly known as McHugh Memorial was completed at a cost of $58,000.00. The building's contractors boasted of the latest modern design that featured proper ventilation ( the air of each classroom being changed every twenty minutes), dust proof classrooms and nearly fire proof construction.
