Pontrilas School District Map




There were actually two schools in Pontrilas when I attended school there, from 1966 to 1968. The small one room school held grades 1 and 2. The larger school held grades 3-6 and 7-12. Starting in 1969, we all ended up being bussed to Codette and Nipawin and the schools were closed.

This is a picture of the location of Pontrilas in relation to Nipawin from the Stovel's Saskatchewan Pocket Map Here is a school district map showing PONTRILAS School District #3280 in relation to other school districts.

The same merry-go-round circa 1944 can be found in a virtual museum photo at Pontrilas merry-go-round.
