Municipal Inventory	Adopted	30 Sep 1996	4	4 Historic Site without built features, but having some significance as a reminder of where an important place once stood. The place may be recognised with a plaque, place name, or its importance may be reflected in urban design.

Statement of Significance

The site is a reminder of the early development of the district, when small settlements developed and schools were required due to the sufficient number of children, and then declined as enrolments fluctuated as Cuballing, and then Pingelly and Narrogin, became the major service centres for the district.

Physical Description

A plaque commemorates the school site.

History

The Cuballing School opened in September 1895 with an enrolment of six boys and fourteen girls. The school was erected with quarters for the teacher on Town Lot No. 6. it was not long before the school was too small and the quarters inadequate. Two additional rooms were built on the existing structure by the contractor, Mr Gurr and completed on 11 July 1904.

Negotiations for a new school fell through, however, additions to the old were commenced in 1913. From this time there was a reduction in the number of enrolments, a reflection of Narrogin's growth and development.
The Cuballing School closed on 23 July 1946 with an enrolment of twenty pupils. In keeping with the policy of the Education Department it was consolidated on the centre of Narrogin and the children of the region were conveyed by school bus.
