Contributor's comments: Growing up in North East Victoria, I attended a Consolidated School. It became "Consolidated" when all the single teacher schools in the surrounding area where closed and their students transferred to our school. The consolidation, in this case did not refer to the joining of primary and secondary students as our school was independant of the High School up the road.
