This memorial of local well-loved teacher Kathleen Aiton takes its place at the entrance of the CWA Park on Banna Avenue, also known by locals as the Children’s Park. A quaint park to sit while watching children play or just sit and watch the world go by.

The memorial takes the form of a drinking fountain raised on the dais and backed with a circular wall built of cream brick. Throughout her whole teaching career, one main characteristic of Kathleen Aiton was her intense love of children. She will be long remembered for her rare gift and magical charm with children.

The memorial built in her honour was by public subscription and her response to local school children.
