Educational needs were recognised as early as 12 February, 1922 when the Yallourn State School No 4085 was opened with 13 pupils. The first school building was a weatherboard cottage at No.4 Hillside. By 1923 enrolment had reached 139 pupils, they came from the Camps and outlying areas, so a move to a new and bigger buildings in Outlook Road was needed. This would become the Secondary School when a new Primary school was opened in 1932, bordering Park Crescent, Banksia Crescent and Fairfield Avenue.
A Catholic Primary School had also opened in the St Therese’s church hall staffed by two sisters of St Joseph.
