History
In 1917, the Bullaring School opened and remained continuously operating until 1947. At that time school bus services were transporting students to Corrigin District School. Dances were held in the school until the hall was opened in 1922. Schools had to maintain a minimum number of eight students in order to stay open, which is why some school opened and closed as the numbers fluctuated.
