History
The Dowlering School, was originally built on the site reserved on Kojonup Location
1507 in May 1912 but after a protest by the Perfect and Douglas families, it was shifted to
the SE corner of Location 3472. Here it was officially opened by Eva Sheridan on April
13,1913.
The original application in 1910 for a school on the Beaufort contained the names of nine
families. Of these Cornwall, George Church and Carder had no children and another two
families - Eattes (four children) and Sullivan (1), also lived west of the Albany Road and
it is doubtful if they ever attended the Dowlering School. However, the Perfects' (two
children), Cavanaghs (5), Douglas' (5) and Rendell's (4) provided enough numbers for a
school to be built.
When numbers became too low here, the building was shifted first to Westwood and then
to Boyerine and currently is at the Wagin Historical Village.
