The School
The school was built in 1927 as a Salvation Army centre. It served in many different capacities until 1989, when renovations began. The original character has been maintained and Mark Bouckoms won a heritage award for his preservation work. The School opened in 1990 and since then has been a valued facility for the health and wellbeing of the community.
