Where is this school?


The construction on the one room school was started in 1909 after the post office was named and a store opened. The Merrington School opened in 1911. The coat rooms for the girls and boys were near the door. I remember the coat rooms being a separate room at the back of my class though not a one room school.  

Check out the lunch tins they used to use. What do you think of them? What books would interest you that are in or on the desks? Would you like a drawer under your seat to store your things?

 How would you like to travel to school in the winter in this School Van?

 In answer to the first question, the Kindersley Museum of course!
