This graphic book was found in the old Armadale school in 1987 as preparations were being made to transport it to its new location at the Minnawarra Historic Precinct.
The school was scheduled to be demolished in 1987 to make way for the Armadale Shopping City expansion. The community rallied to save the building by transporting it down the road to its new location. The old Congregational Church was rebuilt just before the school was moved and sits adjacent to the school.
