Historical information

Originally used as a practising school for Claremont Teachers College. Opened 1905. The original Prac was very small with three classrooms, two short verandahs and a lean-to office. The three original classrooms comprised one large demonstration room, with tiered benches on a raised platform and two smaller rooms separated by a passage. The classrooms opened onto an interior passage and verandah and had high ceilings, high windows and stark white walls. The Rural School was established in one of the rooms of the practising school in 1908.It provided short training for teachers who would work in isolated one-teacher schools.
