Statement of Significance

The Coorow Primary School has considerable local social significance for its important role in education of the community. The original weather-board clad section of the building is representative of a school building of that era.

Physical Description

The Coorow Primary School has two distinct sections, an original weatherboard clad building and a later brick addition to the west. A hipped colorbond roof extends to cover the verandah which runs along the north elevation. The older section of the building is timber frame construction with weatherboard covering. Windows are large double-hung 12 paned and timber framed. The newer section is brick and extends to the west to form an 'L' around a courtyard. The new section has concrete verandahs, timber floors inside.

History

This school site was purchased by the Education Department in 1951 and the school
commenced operations in September 1952. In 1954 two classrooms were added.
