Municipal Inventory	Adopted	18 Mar 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.

Statement of Significance

The place demonstrates a way of life associated with education
and early settlers.

Physical Description

Typical c1950s school Timber framed, elevated from the ground on timber
stumps, clad with fibro-cement with a weatherboard dado, and a corrugated iron roof.

History

The original school on the site was built in 1932. After an
addition was made to the school in 1948, it became redundant, and the Parents and Citizens
Association applied to the Education Department to make it a craft room. With the Education
Department policy of centralised schools, Ted Cowling introduced a bus run in 1949. In 1964, a
second classroom and office were added, and in 1972 the original school room was converted
into a library.
