The School

Mrs. C. E. Pryor was the teacher till 1926. Mr. A. Wardle was the teacher till 1929. While he was there, he added Woodwork, Agriculture and Domestic Arts to the Curriculum. Mr. H. C. Colebatch was the next teacher. Note: There was only one teacher, therefore the teacher was the headmaster. The assistant teacher/monitor was Bernie Snell and then Mary Byrne.

Sometime during September 1926, a group of teachers took part in a "School of Method", which enabled them to observe and benefit from methods used by Mr. Wardle. Over four days, Inspector Suttony led discussions. On the last evening a Social and a Dance was held.

A special train took pupils and residents to a beach resort. Children had a tin pale and a wooden spade to play with. The train ran from Morgan to Adelaide.

Vera Dohnt, a student, was schooled in one large room with all the other students. If the teacher had to leave there would be a monitor/assistant that would be in charge, but when the teacher was present the monitor/assistant helped her/him.

They did drills in the morning.
