AGY-4652 | Narrandera East [I] Provisional School (1925) Narrandera East [I] Public School (1926-1955) Pine Hill Public School (1955-1972)

Full description

Narrandera East Provisional School opened in January 1925. Provisional schools were established in areas with small populations where there were insufficient children to support a full public school. By 1925 ten children were required to establish a provisional school. Usually the Department of Education provided the teacher, books and other teaching equipment and the parents were responsible for the school premises however arrangements varied from school to school.

The School was converted to a Public School in January 1926 suggesting that the attendance had increased to the twenty required for a school of this classification. Narrandera East was renamed Pine Hill Public School in October 1955.

Pine Hill School closed in December 1972.

Note
Narrandera East Infants School was established in 1960. This School is considered to be a separate entity.
