History

In 1895, the former of Escola Dom João Paulino is catechistic literating classes for Macao children established by Nun Canossa.

In 1911, about 70 people were studying here. The school was built next to Our Lady of Carmel Church. After that, Priest 司徒澤雄 took over the school and named it as 聖善 (meaning "Holiness" in Chinese). The native-born Portuguese people called it Escola Dom João Paulino, which means "the School of Bishop João Paulino".

In 1938, the Diocese allocated a building on No. 89-91, Rua Direita Carlos Eugénio for developing a complete primary school.[2]
