Condition
Fair The Wattle Grove Primary School was built on this site in 1940 replacing an earlier school building built in 1915. The single roomed school built in 1940 included a verandah and in 1952 an additional school room was constructed following in 1959 with two more rooms and in 1990 a separate library building. The growth in the facilities in the post-world War II period is indicative of the growth of Wattle Grove in this period. Many of the new residents were migrants settling in Australia after relocating from Europe. The district has continued to grow and a new school was built on a different site in 2011.
