History
East Dorakin School opened in 1910 on a half time basis with West Dorakin School. 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. In 1916 the Governor Sir Harry Barron visited the District and the teacher Mr JH Hoskings entertained 60 children and the Governor at his place. Scrivener's Soak ?
