Statement of Significance
The Northcote State School is of local historical importance. The original par of the school was the first government school to be built in the Northcote Municipality. Individually it is architecturally undistinguished, although the later northern wing is a notable example of English vernacular revival style.

Northcote State School SS1401 - Physical Description 1
Northcote State School has been the object of many extensions; the original building which faces Helen Street to the south of the complex having been absorbed into a fabric of similarly-styled architecture. The first building followed the Public Works Department style adopted in most public buildings, including post offices and court houses. This style was comprised of face red brickwork high trussed gables, flat arched openings and di-chrome voussoirs. It borrowed from two main medieval sources: the English Tudor period and the Italian Romanesque.
