| The former school complex provides the focus for appreciating the development of a village centre at Agnes Banks over the nineteenth century with the construction of public buildings to serve the dispersed rural community. The former classroom block and teacher’s residence are excellent examples of standard rural school building design developed by George Allen Mansfield, the architect of the Council of Education. The complex is one of three public schools erected on Castlereagh Road in 1879 and demonstrates the emergence of the provision of public education within the LGA following the Public Schools Act of 1866 and the high rural populace of the time. |  |
