Bell Public School
School
Bell Public School was located in Sandham Road, Bell, New South Wales on the northern side of the railway line and adjacent to Bell Railway Station.
The old school building was in use until at least December 1940 when a site for the new school was selected by the Department of Education. The Lithgow Mercury reported that three acres had been selected and the residents hoped the building would be erected without much further delay. By 1942, the new school had still not been built.
The newspaper also reported that Mt Wilson Public School had closed due to a decreased enrolment and attendance. This school re-opened some years later and closed for the final time in 1973.
