I think it's Cooke St, but I can't make out the other name.

It looks like Coke St (in Norwood).

May I ask where the snip is from? - it might be easier to read on the original.

Thank you maddy and izzy. That make sense. Could the second part read "this" - maybe it was sayng the previous school was this school?
Also just send a second one.

That looks like Queen Street. Not sure about "this" as previous school? Can you give us the reference for the original? Is it from family search?

The "this"//// It is a school record from Norwood school from 1880s and is in the column Previous School

The other one is again from a Norwood school record and hte column residence - it could be Queen st as there is a queen st in Norwood

yes family research

Sorry, I meant can you post a link to the original image so that we can see the whole page? Sometimes it's easier to get a sense of the style of writing seeing a larger example.
