| Last updated on - September 25, 2009 What is significant? The township of Meredith was surveyed in 1851/2 following the discovery of gold in the surrounding districts. The settlement developed as a civic and commercial centre servicing mining communities as well as surrounding pastoral properties. Several private and denomination schools were established in Meredith during the 1850s, including an Anglican School, Church of England School No. 408, a private Catholic School and a Nation School. These schools were closed when provisions were made for the construction of a state school following the introduction of free, compulsory and secular education under the Victorian Education Act 1872. Meredith State School No. 1402 opened on the 1 July 1874. The first headmaster was Mr. Sydney Johnson, who along with five assistant teachers conducted classes for an average attendance of 94 pupils. The bluestone school, of standard design featured two classrooms, separating the boys and girls. Two octagonal timber shelter sheds with timber lattice survive at each end of the original school. Plantings of mixed native trees and shrubs line the perimeter of the school yard. A large Pinus radiata (Monterey Pine) is situated on the corner of Wallace Street and Russell Street. By 1910, a three-bedroom teachers residence was constructed on the school reserve, addressing Russell Street. After the Second World War, a second population wave swept Meredith district, when the Government acquired 26 allotments of Moranghurk Estate and 51 allotments of Shelford Estate for the Soldier Settlement Scheme. Additional classrooms, a library and administration facilities were constructed adjacent to the original school building in the late 20th century. In 1987, the former teacher's residence became the home of Meredith Community House Inc. The original Meredith State School No. 1420 and the former teachers residence is relatively intact, in good condition and retains a high degree of integrity. How is it significant? The Meredith State School and the former teacher's residence is of historical, social and architectural significance to the township of Meredith and the Golden Plains Shire. Why is it significant? The Meredith State School is of historical significance as a surviving example of a state school complex established by the Department of Education in 1874. Its continuous use as a State School demonstrates the community's commitment to providing primary education for the children of Meredith and district. The Meredith State School is of social significance as the permanent site for the provision of free and secular education under the innovative Victorian Education Act 1872. The role of the school and the Meredith Community House as the focus of community life is reflected in the remodeling |
