This heritage listed building was opened in 1878. As with the high school posted yesterday, the original building is still very much in use, but there are many other buildings being used as well.There is a direct link between the two schools. In 1907 the Kapunda High School commenced and was located here on the primary school site, until 1922 when it relocated to the site donated by Kidman.
