A rich history - Our Heritage

Sutherland was subdivided in 1886. The newly opened railway gave easy access to Sydney. There were only 4 permanent buildings. Three were for the railway whilst the fourth was a general store.  Mr Bramley the store owner was instrumental in organising a petition by the settlers to the government of the Colony of NSW to establish a school. Following a visit from an Inspector for the department of Public Instruction it was determined ‘that the population be sufficient to maintain a small public school.'

The first school, constructed of weatherboards and corrugated iron, a brick chimney, cone cupboard for stationary and six benches for seating opened on 6 March 1997. It had been built at a cost of  £145 ($290).  The first teacher was Maria Meyer.

By 1892 there were 105 children on the roll.

Today, we have 350 students, multiple buildings and classrooms, some are beautiful heritage listed buildings. We are thankful for the many that came before us to establish a rich history at Sutherland Public School.
