Why is it significant?
The former Kilcunda Road State School No. 3337 is of local historic and aesthetic significance to South Gippsland Shire.

Historically, although no longer on its original site, as one of the oldest in the Shire and the only surviving building from the Kilcunda Road district it assists in illustrating the history of that area as well as the early development of community facilties. (AHC criteria A.4 and D.2)

Aesthetically, although basic in design it is notable as an early school that incorporates a number of unusual design features not found on school buildings elsewhere in the Shire. (AHC criterion F.1)
