History

The first school in Hyden was at the "pavilion' hall which was
the main community venue in town at the time. Miss Lola Woolcott was the first teacher when the school
opened in May 1934.
Prior to 1933 when the "pavilion" was constructed, the social venue for the Hyden settlers was Mc
Pherson's Shed. The pavilion was opened by F Lucas, the President of the Progress Association, on 23
September 1933. The annual Christmas Tree was held in the pavilion from that time, and after 1946 the
Parents and Citizens Association organised the popular annual event.
The old sports pavilion (on this site ???) was considered for demolition in 1955, when the Kondinin Roads
Board offered funding for a new pavilion. It was subsequently sold in 1959 (D Munday- demolish &
remove), and the funds went to the "Greater Sports Ground Fund".
The pavilion was the social centre of the Hyden area and served that function until the Hyden Memorial
Hall was opened in 1953. When the Hyden School was overcrowded the pavilion was used as extra
classrooms., and served for Catholic mass regularly during the years from 1943 till the church was built in 1953.
