Cobera school was in operation from 1928 to 1941. When the school closed some of the students transferred to Wanbi School.
The school building was also used for Sunday School conducted by the Lutheran Church.
In July 1928, newspapers reported:
After a lot of trouble, time, and talk we were granted a school, and the usual red tape. The material was carted from the siding, only a few chains, to the school ground, a working bee was formed, and for three days the farmers left their seeding to help in putting the building up. Working bees cleared and grubbed some of the land, and more working bees were to be formed to finish the job. We also had to buy a chair, table, and tank, but the heads thought a little and found the tank, so the table and chair had to be got, or the teacher would have had to stand all day. One family here walk nine miles a day to and from school, one being a child of 7. How many city children walk a quarter of that distance? In the city parents are fined for not sending their children to school, but in the out back country the children get their education as best they can.
Newspaper reports also mention the Cobera football, tennis and cricket teams taking part in competitions in the area. The oval and tennis courts were located up the road from the school building. The oval is no longer used and is now private property. It has not been entirely reclaimed by the environment and can be seen from the fenceline a short drive away.
The only evidence of the school is a sign placed during the bicentennial in 1988. You can see the cleared area where the building most likely would have been.
