Statement of Significance
The former school building has historical and social significance with its association with the education of the children in the town and outlying region. It also has some aesthetic significance, as a simple weatherboard building in mostly original condition, set in a natural landscape, and still functioning as an educational resource.
History
In 1912 the Nampup Progress Association called for a school to be built for the 14 local children of school age. This small corrugated iron school (located in Martin Street) was opened in the on 2nd February 1915. Owing to growing numbers, a second school was built and on 26th January 1924 opened with 30 pupils. It was then used by the Road Board as offices until the new ones were built at the hall.
