Strathmerton School’s Early Building and Notable Alumni
The Nesarkah District records detail Strathmerton’s first state school opened August 18 1886 in Mrs Ruttle’s house later owned by Mrs Northid. A larger building followed at the town’s western end and later a second site across the road. The school grew to about 100 pupils during 1893 1900 with many families named among attendees. Long term staff and descendants of the first teacher Mrs Jang Cope are noted. The roll lists current pupils and a Great War Honor Roll names many alumni with several awarded the Military Medal.
