In order to build the extension to Monto, the workers' camp was relocated to Mulgeldie, including the tent school for the children of the workers, becoming Mulgildie Provisional School on 26 September 1927. In 1928, it was decided to establish a permanent school. Land was reserved for the school and a 21-by-18-foot (6.4 by 5.5 m) school building was erected to accommodate 40 students at a cost of £645.
