Meckering Primary School is a small rural school in the heart of the West Australian Wheatbelt and is a microcosm of the country lifestyle which surrounds us.

The school has an administrator, 4 teaching staff members - full and part time -who are supported by 3 education assistants and a registrar/library officer. Our Staff is a mixture of youth and experience but whether they have been teaching for over 25 years or for just a few years the commitment to our students and to providing an education that meets the needs of each child is strong.

At the moment we have 31 students enrolled - 13 students in years 4-7, 13 students in years 1-3 and 5 students in the preschool years. Our small numbers allow for unique one-on-one teaching opportunities not available at other institutions. We pride ourselves on teaching our students to care for each other and the community as a whole.

As a school we look to the future with enthusiasm, knowing that we have support for all we wish to achieve, both from our parent body and the local community.

“Our purpose is to be the best we can be at coordinating both the school and community in the shared responsibility for developing the children towards being independent, responsible, confident adults who are able to contribute to and function within accepted codes of our society.”
