Rosedale School (1863)/Rosedale Common School No. 770 (1865)/Rosedale State School No. 770 (1873).

The Rosedale School was established in 1863. Two years later, in 1865, it became the Rosedale Common School No. 770. The brick building was constructed in 1870-1. After the passing of legislation to make education free, secular, etc., in 1872, the school became the Rosedale State School No. 770. This school building was in use until a new school was built in 1989.

Start down Prince Street towards the Rosedale Mechanics' Institute Hall. See the statue and display of Patrobas, winner of the 1915 Melbourne Cup, along the way. -->>
