Land for both the school and church were acquired from William Smith who was an original landholder having been allotted the section 89 Hundred of Port Gawler on 7 March 1859. One acre of land was purchased for the building of the school on 2 July 1866. The first teacher was Mr Adams. Others to follow were Mr Allport, Mr Small, Miss Ryan, Mrs Rudall and Mr Fitzgerald.
The school closed in 1967 when a school bus service was commenced to take the children to Mallala Primary School. The school building is still standing and is one of the very few original buildings still in existence in the district. The building is used as a private residence in 2009.
