23 July 1908 New School Building
Messrs. Gossage Bros, are busily engaged building the school at Cooke's Gap, and expect to have everything completed this week. Mr H. E. Blackman is organising a dancing party for the 1st of August in aid of the building fund. The department is paying nothing towards the erection of the building, so it is to be hoped that the dance will return a sum equal to the cost incurred in building. Many, no doubt, who are living too far away to attend, will show their sympathy in a practical way by purchasing tickets2

21 Nov 1918 Not Reopening Provisional School
Captain W. F. Dunn, M.L.A has received the following communication (Nov. 16) from the Department of Education: - 'In reply to your representations in relation to the application for the re-opening of the Provisional School at Cook's Gap. From a further report obtained upon the matter, it would appear that the number of available children of school age is not sufficient to warrant the re-opening of the provisional school and that the existing subsidised school meets the present educational requirements of the district3
