The site was purchased from the Sacred Heart Parish in 1955, established the foundations of the girls' school which would open its doors to its 95 students in 1957.

The large cream-coloured façade acts as the solid feature to the flow to the Warrigal Road traffic, which also blends into the fabric of the adjacent brick domestic housing.

The steel structures are notably evident primarily in the courtyard; pilotis which support sections of the first level thus allowing more space and movement below.

The square plan provides many spatial and environmental qualities to the building; a 360° view of adjacent classrooms, a divide between the noise of the constant traffic on Warrigal Road and the students within in attempt to establish quietness and seclusion, and allowing sun and air to enter through the void which circulates into the classrooms.

The two rows of small rectangular windows on the first floor also allow for such circulation, which are precedent of early Renaissance Florentine palazzo, a building form that Romberg admired.

A set of stairs which was initially located in the courtyard have been relocated to the west of the exterior of the Romberg building, still allowing for access to the upper level.
