Mr Fiedler has lead the school for the past six years.
With nine enrollments in 2019, Mr Fiedler was supported at the school by teacher Christine McIntyre and office administrator Ashley Jeffery both part-time employees.
Mr Fiedler has made a leap into a totally new career - becoming the publican of the Royal Hotel in Horsham.
The school honoured the out-going principal with a special presentation and morning tea attended by parents of past and present students who thanked Mr Fiedler for his efforts and wished him well with his future endeavours.
Mr Fiedler reminisced on his time at the school and his support for very small school.
"The student staff ratio and quality of education, close to where the children live is important," he said.
"The students are able to gain confidence in mixing with a wide age group in school and the community."
Mr Fiedler acknowledged the effort put in by the community and the volunteer time to support the school and the community.
