Rear view of Steventon (Tea Tree Gully) School, the first public school in the area: opened 1870 on land donated for an institute building. South Australia

            In 1855 the residents of Steventon saw the need to erect an institute building and public school but instead, the Council gave Miss Elizabeth Carter permission to conduct school lessons in the new Council Chamber and then in the Wesleyan Chapel. 
In 1870 it was decided that the foundations that had already been laid on land donated in 1854 by William Haines Snr for an institute and library would be used for Steventon’s first school building. The building cost £224 and was jointly funded by the District Council and the Board of Education. In April 1870 the school was officially opened and Mr Samuel Cozens was appointed as school master. The school was renamed ‘Tea Tree Gully School’ in 1874.

*The Institute building was eventually started in Walter Street: stonemason was Robert Gilmour. Foundation stone laid 31 December 1895. On 9 November 1896 the building was opened by the Governor of South Australia, Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton KCMG.

*The land was given by William Haines who gave a block 142ft by 76ft, beautifully situated on the top of a rise to the west of the main road.
