Statement of Significance

The place has historic value as it demonstrates the growth of the district in the post war period.
The original school rooms are representative of educational buildings in the post war period.

Physical Description

Orange Grove Primary School comprises a range of buildings including brick and tile rooms, corrugated metal rooms and more recent rendered block rooms. The original part of the school is the long corrugated metal range characterised by the regular placement of windows, each divided by a ‘fin’ that extends from the sill to the eaves, increasing in width so that it is the same depth as the eaves at the top.

The roof is a shallow pitched gable form clad in corrugated metal. The red brick building was constructed in the early 1960s in a simple vernacular form with the two long walls being predominantly glazed. A shade structure has been constructed to north-east elevation. The administration office is a later addition to the site.

History

The Orange Grove Primary School was established in 1923 at another location in the district. The school was relocated to the current site c.1958 and two of the first buildings on the site remain in situ.
