Full description
Hillgrove Provisional School in the County of Sandon was established in July 1885. (1) Provisional Schools were opened in areas of smaller populations where insufficient children attended to justify the opening of a full public school. By 1885 twelve 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)
In February 1888 Hillgrove became a Public School. (3) At this time the attendance of 20 children was required for the establishment of a public school. (4)
The School closed in May 1974. (5)
