Pine Lodge North No 2150

Located North-East of Shepparton the school was petitioned for by John Furphy in 1878,
and opened with W. Smith as Head Teacher in a building of mud and logs, with a bark roof
and no chimney, leased from the Methodist Free Church in 1879. A portable school was
erected and ready for use in 1880, on a site donated by Cyrus Ford. As the school could not be
reached in wet weather, a two-room cottage had to be leased. The school closed and
reopened several times because of irregular attendance, but from 1916 to 1949 classes
​were held continuously until Barry, the last Head Teacher, finally closed its doors in 1949.
