On the 25th of June 1890 HT Charles M. WATERS opened Nangeela SS3037 in a leased building. The a.a. during that year was only 8 pupils (5 boys, 3 girls). HT WATERS remained in charge until 1st of October 1891. The school closed on 21st of January 1893. Due to the settlement of ex-servicemen on part of Nangeela Estate, a second Nangeela School 4474 was opened by HT Pearl L. KEW-MING on 31st August 1950. Miss M. Brady, who taught at Nangeela in 1948 remembers the schoolroom at the back of the Nangeela hall with old-style desks and a teacher's high rostrum. About 10 children were enrolled. Teachers boarded at Nangeela Homestead owned by the BLACK family.

W.A. COTLER on behalf of the settlers asked that a school be established at Nangeela.

Arrangements were made to convey the children of Nangeela to SS3777 Dunrobin and the school closed on 31st of August 1950.
