The Thornbury Public School

The Thornbury Public School was established in 1880. The school building is of wood and iron, containing two class-rooms and a porch, and stands on an elevated site of an acre and a-quarter of ground overlooking the township. There is accommodation for ninety children, and in 1903 there were seventy names on the roll, and the average attendance was sixty-four. A play ground with a shelter-shed adjoins the school, and there is a seven-roomed residence for the teacher in charge.
