Glentrool Village Primary School 1961
The image is courtesy of Joan Park, Perth, whose father, Hamish, was a forester at that time based in Glentrool Forest. The school consisted of two class rooms, a hall and school kitchen.
The school photograph taken in 1961 shows children attending at that time. Many of the children are from the village and their parents will have worked for the Forestry Commission.
