The site is closely associated with the provision of schooling in the district.
The exact site was not located during this study.
The Dowlering School, was originally built on the site reserved on Kojonup Location 1507 in May 1912 but after a protest by the Perfect and Douglas families, it was shifted to the SE corner of Location 3472. Here it was officially opened by Eva Sheridan on April 13,1913. The original application in 1910 for a school on the Beaufort contained the names of nine families. Of these Cornwall, George Church and Carder had no children and another two families - Eattes (four children) and Sullivan (1), also lived west of the Albany Road and it is doubtful if they ever attended the Dowlering School. However, the Perfects' (two children), Cavanaghs (5), Douglas' (5) and Rendell's (4) provided enough numbers for a school to be built. When numbers became too low here, the building was shifted first to Westwood and then to Boyerine and currently is at the Wagin Historical Village.
