relocated 1920s
After the first Stratham School was closed in 1906, and Stirling School opened, there was no school in the Stratham area. After a deputation to the Education Department headed by Mr V. G. Roberts, the Stratham School was re-opened in 1920. During the late 1920s the school was moved to higher ground on land donated by V. G. Roberts. In 1937, the children from Elgin were transferred by Mr F.W. Vickery's bus run which also picked up the Stirling area children. An extra classroom was added after being relocated from a south west group settlement. In 1946, the school closed when the bus service transferred the students to Boyanup school, and the original school room was relocated to Capel for use a library and store room. In 1983, due to representation by Mrs Hiida Maidment, a pupil from 1920 to 1924, the Capel Shire donated a plaque during the 'Back to School' gathering on 9 June 1983. The group settlement room was relocated to Boyanup School.
