Children in shelter at Cherbourg Settlement School c1930
“My mother would have gone to that school. In my time there was Grade 5, 6 and 7 in a building next to the shed and the Grade 1,2,3 and 4 were up in a hall at the Showgrounds. This shed was knocked down in 1976 when they transferred the school building to the site of the new school. We used to play in that shed when we were kids. We used to go down to the creek and after we finished swimming. we’d end up there. There were toilets there too.”
