Author(s) Percy J Marks AbstractGovernor Fitzroy, in 1850 granted 16 perches "upon trust for the erection of a school house for the use of members of the Jewish faith" No school seems to have been built on the land, which was subsequently sold. In the early 60s there was a Sydney Hebrew School in Pitt street. In 1848 a Denominational School Board was created by the Governor of NSW, but was dissolved in 1866 when the Public Schools' Act was passed. In 1882 the Sydney Jewish Education Board was founded.
