Statement of Significance
A standard education Department timber school room built in 1925, with later additions, for a school founded in 1923. It is locally historically significant as physical embodiment of the development of education in Ringwood. It is architecturally significant as a relatively intact example in Ringwood of the most popular school classroom type in Victoria in the inter-war years. It is socially significant as a community meeting-place and repository of numerous family memories.
