Located on Provincial Truck Highway 307, in Seven Sisters Falls. This was the second location of the Winnipeg Falls North School. In 1929, when the school divided, the north school was moved to this site (the building that was at site 3). However, as the class sizes grew a new building was needed. The present building was built and erected in 1948.  This was a one room school for grades 1 to 8. Students were children of local settler’s and constructions workers. This school closed in 1964 and the pupils went to Seven Sisters Falls. The building is now a private residence.

Among the teachers who worked at Winnipeg Falls North School through the years were William Gevers (1912), Ernest Lexow (1916), John Gfeller (1920), James Oswald (1925-1928), Mary Mroze (1938), Esther Anne Brandt (1944), Nonnie Panchuk (1948, wife of M. W. Peleshok), Hilma Clara May Solar (1950-1957), Frances Gochowich (1961-1962), and Darlene Elizabeth Lackman (1965-1966).
