Emerald Primary School (EPS) has been educating the children of the town and district since its inception in 1879 in East Emerald (now Avonsleigh). The school was relocated to its current site in Heroes Avenue, Emerald in 1915 and is the largest primary school in the area. The celebration of the EPS centenary in 1979 was a large community event involving former and current students and staff as well as local residents. VHS (Video Home System) tapes are now discontinued but were the dominant home video format during the 1980s and 1990s. At some point during that time the original film of the 1979 centenary celebrations was transferred to this VHS tape.Historical view of school life at Emerald in 1979VHS (Video Home System) tape in clear plastic containerEmerald School Centenary 1979 - G.Leggeemerald primary school, centenary, 1879-1979

This map shows the plans by eminent harbour engineer, Sir John Coode in 1879. Construction of the breakwater commenced in 1884 and was completed in 1890. Coode first visited Australia in 1872 when he commenced work with the Melbourne Harbour Trust to report on ways to improve Melbourne Port. He is considered one of the most eminent harbour engineers of the 19th century. His original plans for Warrnambool were revised because of cost but then subsequently found to be inadequate and later extended. This was not successful either and the harbour continues to have silting problems to this day. The Warrnambool Breakwater is of historical importance to Victoria and as this map depicts the original plans, it too has great historical significance. It is also significant with its association with Sir John Coode, who was one of the most important port engineers of the 19th century. He worked to improve ports along the Victorian coast including Portland, Geelong, Port Fairy and Lakes Entrance. While this map demonstrates the engineering skills of the era, it also reflects the limitations when natural elements are involved. Its Historical importance also lies in the depiction of items on the map which relate to Warrnambool’s early history. Paper on linen map coloured, and depicting the harbour area of Warrnambool with the proposed breakwater plan in red. It has Victorian Harbours information in oval at top of map. It shows depths of some areas.In oval at top, “Victorian Harbours Warrnambool plan to accompany Sir John Coode report dated 28th Feb 1879. Drawing No 2. Scale 500 feet to 1 inch at bottom centre.
