After the first Stratham School was closed in 1906, and Stirling School opened, there was no school in the Stratham area. After a deputation to the Education Department headed by Mr V. G. Roberts, the Stratham School was re-opened in 1920. It continued to be the venue of services, weddings and christenings until the All Souls Church was built near by in 1931. It was located on the east boundary of Mr V. G. Roberts 'Rosemore' property on the Boyanup West Rd. During the 1920s the school was moved to higher ground on land donated by V. G. Roberts. In 1937 the children from Elgin were transferred by Mr F.W. Vickery's bus run which also picked up the Stirling area children. An extra classroom was added after being relocated from a south west group settlement.
