My family history, like that of many other community members, is deeply intertwined with our local historic school. Our families attended school there during significant times, including the world wars, depressions, and early settlement challenges, creating rich memories and a profound sense of belonging.

The sale of this treasured institution—with no consideration of or consultation with the local community—is more than disheartening. It threatens to erase a crucial piece of our collective memory. This place of education holds stories of the pioneering families who settled in this area and survived through some of the most challenging times in our history.

We urge the relevant authorities to halt the sale until the community has been adequately consulted and alternative options explored. Spaces like this school provide a connection to the past and foster a sense of community, a sense that cannot be replaced by any other institution.

We understand the need for progress and development, but it should not come at the expense of our shared history. Our community deserves to be part of the decision-making process regarding the future of the school.

Join us in protecting our shared history and heritage. Sign our petition today to prevent the sale of our historic school without input from the community.
