This school closed in 1953 some 21 years after its opening. And there are the stories told by another ex teacher in the district of living in Kerang and how she cycled daily to Koondrook to fulfil her teaching duties. Eighty years on, unlike most of the other schools , Lake Boga has survived. For many past students the only remainder of school memories is the stone and plaque which has been placed on the old site. When Frank Tate , the now legendary Director of Education in Victoria , was the District Inspector in the Mallee he had something like one hundred and fifty elementary schools to supervise.
Today there are less than fifty.
Today Fish Point is closed with its building now on the site of the now closed Castle Donnington. Long Lake closed at about the time Lake Boga was established and Tyntynder closed when all the Tyntynder schools were consolidated at Beverford in about 1992 under the recent Kennett Government. Cato listed the opening of new schools as a result of his Board's activities. Of these only Sealake and Lake Boga remain. Cato noted that with negligible funds, repairs were almost impossible, save for ensuring the safety of children.
