It reveals the nature of educational buildings and the factors that historically were taken into account for the health and hygiene of the pupils. It is important to the history and development of the town with its long and continuous use and is highly valued by the community. The building and setting are aesthetically pleasing.
Physical Description
The Old Vasse School demonstrates local architectural style in an educational context. It has a simple, one room plan. A fresh coat of paint has been aptly applied to attribute a sense of playfulness to the building.
History
Old Vasse School was built to a Public Works Department standard pattern for single room schools. The schools were often transported to other sites when no longer required. This school survived and expanded and a replacement school was constructed on the same site in 1960.
