Mr V.A. Lee, after discussions, gathered a group pf parents in a private house. The group decided Mr Hayes could not teach their children. Every family signed a petition to the Education Department, with the exception of Mrs A.J. 'Gertie' Laughton and Mrs Ralph 'Olive' Sandercock. The result was that the school was closed at the end of the second term in 1943. The children then went to the Gumeracha school, which unfortunately did not have enough desks and students had to sit three to a desk. GUMERACHA SHOW. NEEDLEWORK. Open section championship: Mrs L.G.
