Full description
Selly Oak Provisional School in the County of Hardinge was established in January 1933. (1) Provisional Schools were opened in areas of smaller populations where insufficient children attended to justify the opening of a full public school. By 1933 ten students were required to maintain a provisional school. Usually the Department of Public Instruction supplied the teacher, books and other teaching materials and the parents provided the premises for the School. (2)
The School closed in September 1945. (3)
