Map of Old Junee, NSW 2652
Old Junee is a small community in the central east part of the Riverina, about 8 kilometres north-west of Junee and 16 kilometres east from Marrar. It was originally known as "Jewnee"
Jewnee post office was opened on 1 May 1862 and was renamed Old Junee in 1885 when the present town of Junee was given its name.
The school at Old Junee was opened in 1880 and was conducted in the old Methodist Church building, under the name "Provisional School, Jewnee". A short time later, Junee Junction sprang up, 5 miles (8.0 km) distant so, in 1885, the name of the school and the settlement was changed from Jewnee to Old Junee. The school at Junee Junction is now known as Junee School.
Harry D. Balmain was the first teacher and the oldest record at the school dates from 14 May 1880. For the portion of the quarter ending June, 1880, the total enrolment was 39 (20 boys, 19 girls), the average being 22.3. An amount of £2/8/0 was received in fees, there being no "gratuitous" scholars. The return was signed by Samuel Storey, as a member of the school board. Mr Storey officially opened the first school in 1880, a second building attached to the residence in 1882 and, on Empire Day 1913, the new, commodious building of two large rooms.
In 1894, W. H. Bullen was the teacher-in-charge, and he remained there until 1912 when W. E. Cook was appointed. Mr Bullen had leave of absence for three months in 1902 after 20 years' service, and was relieved by Messrs Hallman and Dawson for that period.
