- Before this school was built there was a school in Rathoora and there was a little girl from Lowertown who used to go to school every day. On her way she had to pass the Fort and every morning an old woman came out of the Fort and carried her in. She kept her all day rocking a cradle and when it was time to be going home from school she left her home.
