Historical information

Bunbury High School was originally built to cater for about 200 students and due to budget constraints was built without a library.

In 1929 the library wing was built to alleviate overcrowding after the student population reached 270 students.

The two story wing was built in the same in the same style of architecture as the existing building. The ground floor consisted of a single room 50 feet by 24 feet, which housed the library. Above the library two new classrooms were built.

The new wing cost about £4,000, was designed by the Public Works Department, and built by contractor WT Clark.

The library wing was ready for use when school year commenced in 1930.

In 2005, plans for a new Library and Administration building were prepared. In 2007 a tender was let for the construction of the new library. The library was completed in 2008 and was was ready for use when school year commenced in 2009.

The original library was converted into a boardroom and currently houses the majority of the school's historic objects.
