Statement of Significance

Bunyip State School SS2229 has significance for Cardinia Shire as an important community landmark built in the 1930s, a period of expansion for Bunyip. The splendid cypress hedge was notable once, with the school's name clipped into the street frontage (possibly not maintained and longer visible in 2015); this type of topiary being once a more common element in the Shire and the State but now rare. The red brick, tiled and hipped roof school, opened on 10 April 1931 is also significant for its external state of preservation and as the only school of its era and style in the Shire.
