The school opened on the 1st February 1915, after the Nunagin School was closed. Thomas O'Kane started the year with 16 children and ended with 27 at the end of the year. Additions took place over the years as the school expanded in line with the towns's growth and development. The school was closed in 1952 when the new Bruce Rock School was opened in Dunsatla Street, although someof hte classes continued at this place for several years. It was used as the town pollingplace until the construction of the Courthouse in 1955.
