This building is the combination of two historic schools. In 1899 the larger section of this building was

school building was added to the original building.
After the new Wanneroo Primary School was built in 1958/59 the Forestry Department used the
building. When Wanneroo Road was widened the building had to be removed from the comer of
Dundebar Road. In 1992 it was relocated to Perry's Paddock.
