Australian Bicentenary -Bindu School SitePrint Page 
The plaque recognises the site of the former Bindu School, which operated from 6 September 1923 until December 1928, and was funded to celebrate the Bicentenary of the European settlement of Australia from 1788 to 1988.
The plaque was unveiled in 1988 by former teacher, Mrs Driscoll (Mary Costello) who taught at the school in 1927.
The Australian Bicentennial Authority (ABA), pursuant to the Australian Bicentennial Authority Act 1980,was set up to plan, fund and coordinate projects that emphasized the nation's cultural heritage. State Councils were also created to ensure cooperation between the federal and state governments. The result was a national programme of events and celebrations to commemorate the Bicentenary.
