Historic - .Jackitup was a small centre that may have developed into a town. There was a hall, school and sports ground enjoyed by the farming folk in the area. The school was the first of the existing bus schools to close when the bus service was provided.
The school was a weatherboard building with an iron roof. The walls were lined halfway up with wood and unlined to the ceiling. A plaque has been erected to mark the site.
