Historical information

The Boyanup State School was located on the South Western Highway in Boyanup. The first room was constructed in 1898 and a second room added in 1912. The old school was closed in 1970.
Upon its opening in 1898 the school mistress was Mrs Eliza Clively, who, according to the 'Southern Times', managed to earn "golden opinions from the little ones and their parents" (see link to article below).
