Statement of Significance
Non-original alterations and additions, and other buildings on the site are not significant.
Aesthetically, it is an example of cojoined one room schools, which demonstrates the consistency of rural school design during the Federation and interwar periods. (Criterion E)
Socially, it is significant as a place that has strong associations with the Fish Creek community through its use as the local school for almost 100 years on the current site. The school was established with the support of the local community, and they have continued to play an active role in the development of the school since its opening. (Criterion G)

FISH CREEK PRIMARY SCHOOL NO.3028 - Physical Description 1
The Fish Creek Primary School No. 3028 comprises a complex of three originally free-standing single room Federation and interwar school buildings that have been joined together. It includes the original Fish Creek school building (closest to the Falls Road frontage?) constructed in 1901 and later remodelled in 1915 and 1926, to which has been added the former Mirboo West School, and the former Hoddle Range School.
The original form and extent of the three schools can still be interpreted. They were all weatherboard gabled buildings of similar standard design and layout with multi-paned windows with hoppers above in one end elevation.
