Staughton Vale Estate State School (SS3630) opened at 1272 Bacchus Marsh-Balliang Road in 1910 and was subsequently renamed Balliang. It was rebuilt in 1945 following a fire, although the distinctive shelter shed survived. The school was closed in 1995 and became a district brigade headquarters of the Country Fire Authority. The original school building and the shelter shed are subject to a Moorabool Shire Council heritage overlay.

Furthermore

The heritage listed shelter shed survived the 1944 fire, and now houses empty paint cans and broken chairs. So much for history.
