Physical Description
The former Yallingup School (Steiner School) is a simple rectangular building with a pitched roof clad with weatherboard. It is typical of the Public Works Department school built for small regional communities. The simple timber casement windows on the long axis of the building appear to be original. The building is part of the larger complex of school buildings in a garden setting.
History
The place was built as a one room school for pupils in the Yallingup area in the early 1920s. The provision of a school building was as a result of lobbying from the Yallingup Progress Association to the government. In the 1930s to the 1950s, there was only one school teacher, Richard Dugdale who was well known in the district. The school closed and was re‐opened as the Steiner School in the 1990s. The building continues to be used by the Steiner School for a range of purposes.
