Looking for a teacher in the Coonooer Bridge-St Arnaud area, Victoria

[Knubley]

Hi
Can anyone help please? In the late 1880s a gentleman (I think a teacher) boarded with the family of George Keam, a farmer of Yawong, Coonooer Bridge. Can anyone help identify him?
Thank you, Louise

"VISION AND REALISATION' a publication of the education dept  1973 give a brief outline of all schools in victoria
it says that Coonooer bridge was a half time school with Berrimal West the only head teacher mentioned was Alice O'Neil whoi opened the school 11 oct 1875 in a building owned by her father.
Both schools appear to have been half time from 3 may 1888 until 1891.
