Statement of Significance

Education was an important issue for the settlers in the developing communities, as demonstrated by the community involvement, and the local focus. The centralisation of the system was the demise of the small community schools. Sense of place for students, descendants and anyone who has been to school.

Physical Description

Memorial stone and plaque Pines and peppercorn trees. In 1918 the re-erected
Yenyening School had a timber frame and had previously had hessian walls. When it was re-
erected it was clad with corrugated walls and roof.

History

In September 1918 the school was opened. It was located on
Jack O'Dea's block, but close to the Simpson home from where it got its name, and where the
teacher usually lived. In 1918 the re-erected Yenyening School was located on the site. In 1939
North Yoting School was relocated to Simpson's Hill. Simpsons Hill School closed in 1940.
