The
Baroota Whim School
(Written 1987 / 1990)
This was a major source of learning
for the Raneberg family
The four eldest of August Roneberg's
family were pupils at this School
Lily, John
Andrew, Clarrie and Thelma attended
together in 1919,
and the following year Nita also attended, riding with them on
horseback
The structure of the School is still
sound
When it was visited as part of the
first Raneberg family reunion in 1987,
blackboards lining it's internal walls displayed, chalked in classic
freehand,
part of the lessons taught during the School's final days
The school opened in 1883 and closed
in 1939
The shots below were taken in 1975
