The site demonstrates a way of life no longer practiced.
Schools were usually established due to lobbying from the members of the relevant community when they recognised a need for a school in their district. Education for their children was an important priority to the settlers. When the Government did establish schools, a minimum number of 8 students was required to retain the services of a teacher and keep the school operating. Consequently, some small schools opened and closed a number of times. After World war two, school bus services began operating, and children from outlying areas were transported to the centrally located schools, and the small schools closed. In 1985 a reunion was held.
