education of the local community since 1950. The grouping of buildings are typical of the style and scale of
educational buildings in remote locations.

Physical Description

school structures are typical of government design for the 1950s and 1960s. The main classroom building is of red
brick construction with a low pitch gable colorbond roof which extends to cover the verandah. The verandah has
been partly enclosed on the eastern end with fibro sheeting to facilitate additional usable space.
