Only two families used this school during the two years that it operated. In 1932 the Parker family left the district so their were insufficient numbers to keep the school open. When the Parker School closed in 1932 the Fleay family were left without schooling so Mr Stan Vaux,whose three children were doing correspondence lessons applied to have the building moved to his property 'Wigboro', which was 7km from the Parkers property.
