Our History

Construction of a new railway line from KooWeeRup to Strzelecki began just before the outbreak of World War One. The first station from K.W.R. was to be named Yallock, but in fact was named “Bayles” to honour the memory of Fred Bayles.

The township grew up around the railway station which continued to serve the community until 1959 when the line was closed. On September 10th 1928 Bayles Primary School, 4374, opened its doors for classes and was “officially” opened in the November. In 1993 Bayles Primary, 4374, was a school of three classes and about 40 pupils.

Only a few kilometres down the road at Catani, another primary school with two grades and two permanent teachers was servicing 30 pupils.Political moves by the Premier Jeff Kennett saw the schools being forced to close. Both schools and their communities fought a hard battle to retain their independent identities but it became clear that the only options were to be forcibly closed or agree to “merge’ on one site. Closure would have seen the pupils and school amenities scattered amongst many other schools but, by agreeing to merge, all pupils were given the chance to stay together and all school buildings and equipment became part of the new school. Choosing which site should remain open wasn’t easy as both were excellent sites – but Bayles was on the direct bus route for secondary college buses so the new school was established there.
In 1994 Bayles Regional Primary School, 5421 opened it’s doors.
