| What is significant? Teesdale State School No. 2065 is situated on allotment 28, Parish of Burtwarrah, 30 Sutherland Street Teesdale. The school building stands on land originally reserved for cultivation and purchased from the Crown in 1855 by Mr T. Elliot. In 1874, the Board of Education purchased the 4 acres parcel from Henry H Cations with view to establish a new state school. It replaced Teesdale State School No. 628, a former Denominational School established by the Presbyterian Church in 1858. Teedale School No. 2065 commenced from this site on 1 June 1878 with an enrollment of 78 local children. By the early 20th century however, the number of enrolments dropped significantly and its operation was reduced to 3 days a week. Full time classes resumed in 1916 and a second population wave of population, which swept the Teesdale district after World War Two, ensured the schools permanence well into the late 20th century. Additional classrooms and administration facilities have been constructed adjacent to the original school building to accommodate a further increase in attendance. The brick school building is of standard design, with a small brick porch, serving as the main entrance to the school building. The original Teesdale State School No. 2065 classroom is intact, in good condition and retains a high degree of integrity. How is it significant? The Teesdale State School is of historical, social and architectural significance to the township of Teesdale and the Golden Plains Shire. Why is significant? The Teesdale State School is of historical significance as a surviving example of a state school, established by the Department of Education in 1878, which continues to serve the children of Teesdale and district. The school also has significance for its siting on formerly land gazetted for cultivation, reflecting the growth of the settlement beyond the township grid, along the Shelford-Bannockburn Road. The school is of social significance as a focus of community life and its survival reflects the growth and prosperity of the surrounding agricultural economy. The school is of architectural significance as a surviving example of a rural state school constructed to a Department of Education standard design in the late 19th century. |
