The site represents a way of life associated with education and early settlers in Kwolyin, which is no longer practised.
On the 15th November 1920, the School opened in the hall, only to close again on 25th August 1922, due to lack of students. However by 1923 it was opened again and it continued to operate until 1927, after a volatile situation in 1925, cause by the conditions of hte hall; the extreme hot and cold and the presence of stickfast fleas due to fowls under the hall. A school was constructed in 1927, together with teacher's quarters and continued to function until it closed on the 17th August 1956.
