Art class, Jordanville Technical School, 28 April 1965
Jordanville Technical School opened in 1954 on a site along Vannam Drive, Ashwood, between Damper and Gardiner's Creeks (see J 10 in the 1966 Melways). This posed problems not solved until, due to continued housing development, Damper Creek was replaced by a drain and Gardiner's Creek was diverted. This made 'grounds improvement' possible. The technical schools predated the first high school in the area, Ashwood High School opening in 1958. This was perhaps an indication of the perceived social status of the working class Jordanville Housing Commission estate.
Ashwood College was formed in 1988 from the merger of Ashwood High School and Jordanville Technical School. The new school was located on the High School site and the Technical School site, across the road, was developed for housing in 1993. Beechwood Terrace, Scenic Drive and Clearview Close are located on the former Jordanville Technical School site.
Ashwood State School was adjoining and directly to the south of Jordanville Technical School. This location was also developed for housing, with Malmsbury Drive, and Peppermint and Lavender courts on the former primary school site.
