Located at 1290 Calder Highway Diggers Rest, the old School House is a unique example of the ‘Edwardian Single Room’ school building as established on behalf of the Education Department in the early 1900’s.
Whilst still retaining many of the original attributes of its era, the building represents an abstract of the localised State Primary education, whereby small schools were constructed and relocated to accommodate fluctuating rural populations.
The old School House was relocated to its current site and restored by the community in 1993.
This building is of significant social and historical benefit to the community of Diggers Rest and according to the Melton Heritage Study, the building houses the Diggers Rest historical records.
