This continued until 1959 when, due to the drowning of three Presentation Sisters in a boating accident, the sisters were forced to close the school.
In 1962, just three years later, the Presentation Sisters again opened a Catholic School in Mandurah - this time in a small cottage on land adjoining the present site of the Presentation Convent. Due to declining numbers of students and extreme financial hardship without Government assistance, the sisters were again forced to close the school.
