Statement of Significance
Non-original alterations and additions, and other buildings are not significant.
It is a representative example of the standard interwar school design that was first used at Bena State School No. 3062 in 1921. The most distinguishing feature is the recessed side porch, which was a departure from the projecting gabled porches of earlier examples and demonstrates the continuing development of one-room school design during the interwar period. Of the surviving examples in the Shire this is most intact example, and it is complemented by an early shelter shed. (Criterion D)

This is a gable-fronted one-room timber school clad in weatherboardswith a recessed entry porch at the north east corner. It has a trellis vent in the gable end and simple triangular eaves brackets, a bank of double hung and hopper windows in the south elevation, another tall multi-paned window within the porch and a small square six-pane window in the front elevation. There is a brick chimney against the west wall.The small gabled weatherboard building at the rear is believed to be the former school shelter shed.
Alterations include the installation of a new window in the facade adjacent to the porch, and the sealing up of the original entry door off the porch, which has been replaced by a new door and window in the east wall.
The Hallston Public Hall is on the adjacent site to the east.
