      WARRANDYTE SOUTH PRIMARY SCHOOL NO. 3476 (former) - Physical Description 1

      The Warrandyte South Primary School is an inter-war school building, which illustrates the Moderne influence upon school design at the time when Percy Everett was the Chief Designer of the Public Works Department. It has a hipped corrugated iron roof and weatherboard clad walls with a fibro-cement frieze below the eaves. Projecting from the front of the building there is a symmetrical skillion-roofed entry wing with a central doorway, flanked on either side by threebay timber framed double-hung sash windows with horizontal glazing bars. Bays of windows of the same type extend across the full width of each of the side elevations. At either end of the entry wing the roof is penetrated by a red-brick chimney with three brick string courses.

      The front of the school building is located on an axis with a pedestrian entrance to the school grounds flanked by piers of local sandstone. Affixed to one of the piers is a bronze memorial plaque which reads: 'Erected to the memory of H.W. Everard 1951'.

      The building is in good condition, although there are c.1960 classroom additions to the rear. The school grounds also contain a number of more recent buildings.
