Bundoora Primary School No.1915 was constructed in 1877 of brick on a bluestone base with an iron roof and small porch. The school consisted of a single room with the dimensions 30 feet by 18 feet. Bundoora Primary is a rare example of a school building which has retained its original fenestration. The building has three twelve-paned sash windows on the west side and one on the north, although the window on the south has been bricked up using similar bricks to the original, laid in the same manner. An additional cloakroom was added in 1929-30 in red brick with an iron roof to extend the porch to the east. In 1955 portable classrooms were placed on the site and an opening formed in the south wall. In 1983 the roofing was replaced and openings made for the installation of skylights. At this time the building was relined over the existing lining. The original building still serves as a classroom. How is it significant? The Bundoora Primary School No.1915 is of architectural and historical significance to the State of Victoria. Why is it significant? The Bundoora Primary School No. 1915 is architecturally significant as a representative and particularly intact example of the work of the Education Department Architectural Branch in the 1870s. The school was built under the supervision of Henry Robert Bastow and it remains as a good example of the Early Education Department 'Single Room Schools' style built in the 1870s. The building has been altered to conform to educational requirements of the late twentieth century, yet it remains as a typical example of a school building of its time. Through its use of local materials and craftsmanship, Bundoora Primary School illustrates a period in history when small communities in Victoria were isolated from manufacturing centres and relied upon local skills and resources. The Bundoora Primary School No.1915 is of historical significance as an example of a small rural school built in the years following the Education Act of 1872. The Education Act established a free, compulsory and secular education system in Victoria and the Bundoora Primary School excellently demonstrates the provision of educational facilities in a rural area. The building is important for its educational associations, having been in operation in that building for more than one hundred years, and for its established peppercorn trees (Schinus molle). | | 02 Nov 2015 | The development will have a on the main access to the site - which is Plenty Rd and Enterprize Drive triggering clause 52.29 | (Source: Whittlesea City Council, reference no: 15437/15) |
