Deer Park State School began in 1874 as State School 1434 Braybrook but soon the school became known as the Derrimut on Kororoit Creek State School. This was soon shortened to Kororoit State School The Kororoit State School and was renamed to the Deer Park State School in 1890 when the local area's name was changed from Kororoit Creek to Deer Park. The school suffered several dramatic events due to its proximity to the ICI explosives factory. These events included the windows being blown out after lightning struck the ICI factory, the ceiling collapsed after an explosion at the ICI factory, and a fire destroyed the school in 1942. The 1940's rebuild of the school included a new red brick building with bluestone detailed used from the original building. The new building matched Percy Everett’s Education Department architectural style of the era. This school was relocated to Cairnlea in 2007 and became known as the Cairnlea Park Primary School. The old 1943–44 red‑brick main building (rebuilt after the 1942 fire), the blue stone remnants and the school grounds are now protected under Brimbank’s Heritage Overlay (HO84).These photographs capture the original blue stone school building, the damaged caused by the 1942 fire and the 1943–44 replacement red‑brick main building.5343.01 - Deer Park State School Photo 01.jpg 5343.02 - Deer Park State School Photo 02.jpg 5343.03 - Deer Park State School 1942 Fire Photo 03.jpg 5343.04 - Deer Park State School 1942 Fire Photo 04.jpg 5343.05 - Deer Park State School 1942 Fire Photo 05.jpg 5343.06 - Deer Park State School 1942 Fire Photo 06.jpg 5343.07 - Deer Park State School Photo 07.jpg 5343.08 - Deer Park State School Photo 08.jpg 5343.09 - Deer Park State School Photo 09.jpg 5343.10 - Deer Park State School Photo 10.jpg 5343.11 - Deer Park State School Photo 11.jpg 5343.12 - Deer Park State School Photo 12.jpg 5343.13 - Deer Park State School Photo 13.jpg 5343.14 - Deer Park State School Photo 14.jpg 5343.15 - Deer Park State School Photo 15.jpg 5343.16 - Deer Park State School Photo 16.jpgdeer park state school, ballarat road, deer park, hume and hovell cairn

The children from Bulla Primary School were taken on an excursion to Gellibrand Hill Park which is a short distance from the School. The emphasis on the day's excursion was to identify the native fauna in the park as well as the vegetation.The property was originally settled by the Greene family in 1843. In 1980 the State Government purchased the property and it is now one of the state's parks where the natural vegetation has gradually been restored on the property.

This booklet gives information on the settlement of Dergholm at the time of the centenary of its founding, 1973. The origin of the name Dergholm is unclear but it may have Irish connections. Europeans came to the area in the 1840s and 50s but it was not until the 1870s that the town was surveyed. Dergholm is in the far west of Victoria 334 kilometres from Melbourne and nearby is Dergholm State Park established in 1982. The booklet was produced for the Centenary Back to Dergholm Committee and the local centenary celebrations. This book is of some interest as it provides information on Dergholm, a settlement in the far west of Western Victoria. This is a soft cover booklet of 52 pages by Alistair Roper. It has a cream-coloured cover with a black and white photograph of early Dergholm on the front cover (Edward Quinn’s house). The booklet has printed material - a President’s Message, an Author’s Note, Acknowledgements, Contents, information on the Dergholm area, including a list of local birds, and References. There are several black and white photographs of the area and its people. The book is stapled.

This record was made by a local business existing in the 1960s and early 70s, Warrnambool Recording Enterprises. This business used a local landmark, the Tower Hill State Park, as its logo and label. The recording is of the 1971 production of ‘H.M.S. Pinafore’ by the students of Warrnambool Technical College. This school was established in 1913 in Timor Street and in 1973, as Warrnambool Technical School, was relocated to Caramut Road and re-named Brauer college in 1990. The Timor Street site is now the South West TAFE College. This record is of interest as a memento both of the Warrnambool Technical College’s musical performance in 1971 and of the production of records such as this one by a local business, Warrnambool Recording Enterprises in the early 1970s. This is a 33.3 R.P.M. record with a part-image of a guitar and a yellow label in the centre with black printing and typing. It is in a paper sleeve which is tattered with the bottom section mostly missing. The cover does not appear to belong to the record.
