Eastern Bush District - School History The class photo shown here from 1920 has teacher Matilda MacDonald and the photo of the school building with pupils outside is dated from 1930: According to Miller’s history, once again, the Eastern Bush School was not opened until 1 January 1892 and previously the school children had been taught in the Scobie’s woolshed on the Accommodation House/Hotel property. There are a list of teachers and first students in Miller’s book but not much information – I will try to add more details to this entry later: TEACHERS: - John Meiklejohn, 1892 - W S Lea, 1894 - AE Barrowclough, 1897 - John McFadden, 1900 FIRST PUPILS at schoolhouse: - Ewen Bradley - Richard Bradley - Charlotte Eunice Darley - William Darley - Harry Davis - Alexander Flowers - Jeannie Grant - Peter Grant - Gertrude Green - Elizabeth McCall - David McCall - John McCall - Robert McIntosh - Annie McLaren - Ada Russell - Joseph John Russell - Bertie Smith - Ernest Smith - Percy Smith - Ada Wakefield - ? Wakefield (first name not given) The class photo shown here from 1920 has teacher Matilda MacDonald, who was later Matilda Moffat. She married Norman Moffat, Charlie’s father and Lincoln’s grandfather. Lincoln Moffat’s historical notes tell us that his belief is the first Eastern Bush school was initially down Township Road on the south side. He is of the understanding that the “new” school or the second version, was built on the north side of where the last school was or the third version, the later which is now the Eastern Bush Community Centre. His father Charlie Moffat attended the second school in 1930, Lincoln himself attended the same one in 1958. The photo of the school building shown in this entry from 1930, is this very same building. NOTE: I believe it is mostly Lincoln Moffat (the last of his name on the land there), who has been responsible for collecting these school photos. We thank Lincoln for his dedication to preserving all of this district history. Hopefully this entry will be added to as more information comes to hand. If you or anyone you know has any more information or photos to share or accounts of the Eastern Bush School during the years, please do share in the comments section.
