Aesthetic, Historic, Representativeness and Social
The former school at Jardee is a group of buildings, which includes a 1912 single roomed school and a two roomed purpose built school opened in 1913. The 1912 building is constructed form weatherboard with a corrugated iron gabled roof. The building has porches on both sides of the building and is raised off the ground by timber stumps. The 1913 building is a well proportioned rectangular building with two classrooms. It is built from weatherboard and corrugated iron. Each room has a fireplace with a tall brick chimney. The tall many paned windows are a feature on the east side of the building. The out buildings on site include a lunch shed and male and female toilet facilities.
Jardee, originally known as Jarnadup, emerged as a timber milling settlement following the extension of the railway line from Bridgetown in 1911. This enabled a timber industry to be established in the district. The children of the timber workers at Jarnadup were initially obliged to walk to Manjimup to attend school at that centre. This endured until John Whitecross Lyall, Manager of the Wilgarup Karri and Jarrah Mill at Jarnadup arranged for the provision of a building to be used as a school. This one room school was opened on October 1912 with 21 pupils. GR Scott was the teacher. In August 1913 a purpose built school with two classrooms was built on the same school site. However, it was not until 1954 that a house was provided for teachers. In 1972 the school was closed and the students of Jardee were from that time on conveyed to Manjimup school by bus. The school building was purchased by the Manjimup Shire Council for community use and became a venue for the Manjimup Art Society. The teacher’s house was used to accommodate teachers appointed to Manjimup until it was eventually sold. In 2004 the school was not occupied or used. However the Manjimup Historical Society noted that there are plants remaining from a garden started as early as 1915. These historical notes were prepared by Dave Evans former resident and Parliament representative for the Shire of Manjimup.
Integrity: High Authenticity: Very high
The school rooms range from good to fair. The lunch shed however, is in poor condition.
