The site represents a way of life associated with education and early settlers, which is no longer practised.
The school opened on 12th July 1912 and the name was changed to Kokerbin Hill School on 1st August 1917. It continued for another 11 years with that name, closing on 21st Decmber 1928. It was relocated by the Nicholls family in sections, with horse drawn wagons, to Mt Stirling, until in 1937, a local farmer purchased the building and added it to his house.
