This was the site of the first school in Carnamah. (Local Knowledge) Five acres of land on the west side of the railway was vested as Reserve 13591, following which a standard portable weatherboard and iron school, consisting of 1 room 18ft x 18ft, was built. Costing 180 pounds, the school was opened on 15 July, 1912. By 1916 the old school had been converted into quarters and a new school built. (Heydon, p86-88)
