History

Jardee, originally known as Jarnadup, emerged as a timber milling
settlement following the extension of the railway line from Bridgetown in
1911. This enabled a timber industry to be established in the district.
The children of the timber workers at Jarnadup were initially obliged to
walk to Manjimup to attend school at that centre. This endured until
John Whitecross Lyall, Manager of the Wilgarup Karri and Jarrah Mill at
Jarnadup arranged for the provision of a building to be used as a school.
This one room school was opened on October 1912 with 21 pupils. GR
Scott was the teacher. In August 1913 a purpose built school with two
classrooms was built on the same school site. However, it was not until
1954 that a house was provided for teachers.
In 1972 the school was closed and the students of Jardee were from that
time on conveyed to Manjimup school by bus. The school building was
purchased by the Manjimup Shire Council for community use and
became a venue for the Manjimup Art Society. The teacher’s house was
used to accommodate teachers appointed to Manjimup until it was
eventually sold.
In 2004 the school was not occupied or used. However the Manjimup
Historical Society noted that there are plants remaining from a garden
started as early as 1915.
These historical notes were prepared by Dave Evans former resident and
Parliament representative for the Shire of Manjimup.
