Municipal Inventory	Adopted	27 Oct 1998	Category 4	Category 4 Some heritage value, but not essential to an understanding of the district. Recommend that the place is not included on the Town Planning Scheme at this time. Re-assess the significance of the place when the Inventory is regularly reviewed. Assess in more detail when considering a development application. Record the place prior to redevelopment or demolition. This category is not included in the Town Planning Scheme, and therefore a planning application is not required for proposed development or demolition of the place. Should a building or demolition application be received by Shire, it should be considered on the basis of the recognised heritage value, and the owner offered the same consultation facilities as for the Town Planning Scheme. The places in this category should be reviewed regularly with consideration for inclusion in the Town Planning Scheme.

History

In 1926, the first school 30' by 20' timber framed building was established on the site of the existing Recreation Centre. After the introduction of school bus services the school students numbers expanded, and the school building was relocated to this site and added to into double the size, in addition to a storeroom and verandah. In 1995, an office and library were formed out of the middle classroom. In 1996, the library was removed, to join two classes in line with Education Department policies and Duty of Care to students. The library was re-established in a demountable class room on site which was previously the Pre-Primary school.
