West Wyalong school records
Archives on tour
In this webinar recording, explore the town of West Wyalong through the school records in the NSW State Archives Collection.
Schools are often the centre of a town and reflect the good times and bad times but also the fun times like days off for the local show. They reflect the culture and location of the town – early finishes so the children can help with the milking or more pupils attending while the railway is built nearby. Teachers move from school to school frequently and their leave records can provide many details about their lives.
