The site represents the education system of a way of life no longer practiced. It represents the community co-operation and the value of education.
Yawlerin School opened on 15 October 1929 and closed on 16 December 1938. Education was an important issue for the settlers in the developing communities, as demonstrated by the community involvement, and the local focus. Schools were usually established due to lobbying from the members of the relevant community when they recognised a need for a school in their district. When the Government did establish schools, a minimum number of 8 students was required to retain the services of a teacher and keep the school operating. Consequently, some small schools opened and closed a number of times. The centralisation of the system was the demise of the small community schools. After the Depression (1938), Moppett's School Bus Service began operating, and children from outlying areas were transported to the centrally located school in Narembeen, and the small schools closed.
