Braidwood Central School(commonly abbreviated to BCS) is a combined primary and secondary school located in Braidwood, New South Wales, New South Wales, Australia. Established in 1849.[1], the school is one of the oldest continuously operating schools in the state. The School's motto is 'Loyalty and Truth'.
The school annually holds a 'MADD' (Music, Art, Drama and Dance) Night to showcase the student's artistic abilities.
History
Prior to Braidwood Central School's establishment, a school was privately conducted by James Sproul, with 35 students in attendance.
Braidwood Central School was officially opened on August 7th, 1849, under the name 'Braidwood School for Boys and Girls'. In 1850, the school was granted one acre for a building, used today for primary and secondary classes. The school was split into two departments[1], Primary and Secondary, in 1869, with another two rooms added in 1870. In 1877, a teacher's lodge was constructed, now used as an office and archive. The school was renamed Braidwood Superior School in 1888[2].
In 1910, students from Braidwood Central School swapped flags with children from Braidwood, Scotland. The carrier of the flags, Mr Olivey, noted the similarities between the two towns, such as the Clyde River near Braidwood and the River Clyde in Scotland, that passes near the town. In 1920, the school was renamed once again to Braidwood Public School, before becoming Braidwood Central School in 1849[3]
Historically, Braidwood Central School completed against Narooma High School in the 'Narwood Cup', with the schools alternating between hosting the events between campuses.
In November 2021, the school celebrated the completion of 3 new buildings, expanding on the existing office and adding 2 large multi function classroom buildings[4]. The project was designed by architect Clarke Keller and built by Zauner Construction.
