These pages were a project of year 6, 1996. The aim was to learn
how to create web pages, and to place Cumnock on the World scene.
Setting an example for others to follow. These pages describe the
School and the small rural community in which it is located in
Central Western NSW, Australia.

Cumnock Public School is located in a small, rural community 60km
NW of the city of Orange. The village is supported by rural
activities which include wheat and other grain crops together with
mixed beef farming and sheep grazing. The school at Cumnock was
established in 1879 on a site within the small village and was
eventually relocated to its present site in 1929. During the next
four decades other small neighbouring schools closed down with some
of these buildings moved to the school site to act as classrooms for
an increasing school population. Student numbers peaked in the 1960's
but have steadily declined to its present enrolment of 60. The school
has 3 teachers, and a support teacher for 3 days per week. It also
has a school secretary each day. The school is well resourced and is
supported by the community in its many fund raising ventures.
The school students would be interested in communicating with anyone
from around the world. Please contact us through the
Principal, Mr Bellis.
