Statement of Significance

A timber substantially Edwardian schoolroom, relocated here and remodelled to the design of important Public Works department architect S.E. Bindley, in 1905. There is a well, windbreak and possibly rare 30-type classroom, altered.

It is of local historical significance for its association with educational developments and in demonstrating the effect of government action in the town and its community life, whilst remembering that the initial stimulus and financial contribution came from the community itself It is of local architectural significance as a representative and relatively intact example of an Edwardian rural schoolroom and of the work of the important Public Works Department architect S.E. Bindley.

Finally the school is of local social significance as known and valued by the community as part of the sense of identity of the place and a traditional community focus and meeting place.
