There was a problem for the parents of the children who were Baptist parishioners’ the man teaching their children was a Roman Catholic. Mr V.A. Lee, after discussions, gathered a group pf parents in a private house. The group decided Mr Hayes could not teach their children. Every family signed a petition to the Education Department, with the exception of Mrs A.J. 'Gertie' Laughton and Mrs Ralph 'Olive' Sandercock. The result was that the school was closed at the end of the second term in 1943. The children then went to the Gumeracha school, which unfortunately did not have enough desks and students had to sit three to a desk.

Transport was provided for the Kenton Valley children in the shape of a dark grey 1936 Chevrolet 'paddy wagon'. Its driver was Mrs A.J. 'Gertie' Laughton. There was room for two 'Juniors' on the front seat under the watchful eyes of the driver, and as many as could be packed in through a double door in the rear. The van had no side windows and the only ventilation for the rear compartment was through small vents in the front corners. The driver was able to quell any unruly behaviour merely by looking at her passengers through the small rear window above the front seat. The sisters Fae and June Boerth, Brian Camac, Grantley Cornish, Keith Plummer, Robert 'Bob' Laughton, Roger Lee, Fae Patullo, Denzil Sandercock, Peter Sandercock, Denis Seidel, and Ronda Wagenknecht travelled in the 'Black Maria' twice a day.
