The Holy Trinity Anglican Church school is a coursed rubble sandstone structure erected in 1847 with later application of ruled cement render and hipped roof of corrugated iron. The former schoolhouse may be the first constructed denominational school building outside Melbourne and Geelong and of paramount significance to the history of education in Victoria. This unpretentious schoolhouse is representative of settlement in Victoria, and one of the oldest surviving buildings in the Geelong region.
