Silverton School was dedicated as an Educational Museum and formally opened, on Sunday 7th June 2009.
But its delightful history as a school began in 1884 when it was first opened as a New South Wales Education Department tent!
The Silverton School Educational Museum offers a really unexpected museum experience in the middle of the Outback. If you are someone who remembers writing with pen or ink, or even board and a slate ‘pencil’, a visit may just overwhelm you with memories. And if you are younger, take a journey way down into the history of settlement schooling in Australia.
