Eureka School opened on its long term site on the corner of Station Road, (now Eureka Road) and SH24 on 2nd May 1904.  Closed December 2003.  Residents had lobbied for a school since early 2003, but were initially refused.  However, potential student numbers grew, while children had to walk or ride long distances to neighbouring schools.  After a donation of fifty pounds by residents, the first building measuring 24 feet by 12 feet was built on land donated by John Gordon with a roll of 23.  However, this quickly became too small, and by 1905 a larger building to hold up to 45 students was under way and opened in February 1907, with a further acre of land purchased that year and the whole area fenced.

Westmount School took over the land and buildings by lease from the Ministry in December 2003. A Centenary Jubilee for Eureka School was held in May 2004.
