History


A Bapist Church opened at "The Island" on the weekend of 8-9 September 1906. The church was 34 by 20 feet (10.4 by 6.1 m).[3]

Following the closure of the school in neighbouring St Helens in December 1941, in May 1942 the Island Farmer's Association offered their hall to establish a school in Island Plantation for the duration of the war.[4] Gladys Rose Walter was transferred to the school in June 1942 as its teacher.[5] Island Plantation Provisional School opened in 1942 and closed in 1944.[6]
