The origins of the Technical School trace back to 1892, when the British Government granted 202 acres for the establishment of an industrial school for Catholic juvenile offenders. By April 24, 1895, the school received official government certification from Governor H.E. Havelock. Several European Oblate Brothers, who were experts in various trades, were sent to help these young offenders. They were initially taught carpentry, sewing, and agriculture, and by 1897, the curriculum had expanded to include printing, bookbinding, and metalwork.

Today, as St. Vincent’s Technical School, we continue this tradition by providing specialized vocational training for young people whose secondary education was interrupted. We operate several key departments, including Motor Mechanics, Electrical Mechanics, and Lathe Mechanics. Our goal is holistic development: students are also equipped with essential future talents such as English proficiency, gardening, and animal husbandry alongside their trade skills. We proudly provide a structured home for young people referred through courts or the Probation Department, offering them a clear path toward a skilled and independent future.
