This history of a country school in the agricultural farming area in Tasmania draws upon the concept of social capital. The analysis considers the school's educational function and ways it adapted to demographic demands and changing social expectations. But the school’s value as an asset to the agricultural community is shown to go beyond that scholarly imperative. The process of its birth is a unique story. The management of its eventual death offers insight into the impacts of small school closures in future.
