History
The Oxford Falls Public School first opened in the small Church of England at Oxford Falls in 1928 with eight enrolments. The present building on the Peace Park site was built in 1930. With the school's closure in 1986, the schoolhouse was threatened with demolition but with the assistance of a local campaign and the support of Warringah Council, including the local D Riding councillor Paul Couvret, the peace park was created and the school now serves as a community hall and is the site of the annual ANZAC Day dawn service.
