Statement of Significance

The old building at Monbulk Primary School, which was constructed in 1914 to replace the 1897 former Dandenong Forest Village Settlement School destroyed in the 1913 fires, has high local significance as an important and popular community centre. It is significant as an example of a school on an historic site occupied by a primary school for more than a century, and with pupils descended from the original 1890s Village Settlers in the area. It is architecturally significant as an intact example of timber, school architecture dating from the early twentieth century.
