The Greek Orthodox Community of Melbourne and Victoria (GOCMV) not only played an integral role in the provision of religious services for early Greek migrants but was also instrumental in educating children in Greek language and culture.

Although the GOCMV archival documents prior to the 1920s make no reference to the establishment of Saturday or afternoon Greek Language Schools anecdotal evidence suggests that the Greek language was taught at the Holy Church of the Annunciation of Our Lady once it was erected in 1901. Most likely private Greek language tuition classes were provided to children of then Greek migrants by the serving priests of the time.
