Statement of Significance
The site is a reminder of the early development of the district, when small settlements developed and schools were required due to the sufficient number of children, and then declined as enrolments fluctuated as Wandering became the major service centre for the district.
Physical Description
A plaque commemorates the school site.
History
School in operation: 1939 - 1967.
Gleneagle was a forestry settlement 62 km south of Perth on the Albany Highway and on the extreme northern boundary of the Wandering Shire. Being 60 km from Wandering it is likely that the residents of Gleneagle would have looked to Armadale as their centre rather than Wandering. It has now been developed as a picnic area by the Department of Conservation and Land Management. Only the briefest details of the school are available. The school was opened on 3 April 1939 and continued to operate until 1967.
