Originally known as Munster School District when it was established in
August 1916, it was later renamed Cavell, probably in commemoration of
executed First World War nurse Edith Cavell (1865-1915). A school
building was erected in 1917 in the southwest quarter of 30-6-23 west
of the Principal Meridian in the Rural Municipality of Cameron. It was
also used as an Anglican church for a time after 1919. The school
closed in 1957 and its remaining students went to Hartney Consolidated
School No. 2389. The district was dissolved in July 1960. A cairn was
erected on the site in 1995 and the building was torn down in 2011.
