The wooden school in Tambaroora Street gained a brick extension in 1872. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, 12 September 1872:

The additions were badly required, as the attendance is large — the average at present being 209 children. Mr. Thomas Yates is the master, with four assistants. The three schoolrooms are well furnished, and the carpenters were busily employed at the time of my visit, completing the desks and interior arrangements.
