Meckering Primary School is situated in the town of Meckering, 35kms east of Northam, in the central wheat belt. The economic base centres on mixed farming operations and some students are drawn from farms in this western section of the Cunderdin Shire. The remainder of the students reside in the town site. It is proud to have the atmosphere of a large family while still delivering a quality education to its students.

Our school is an attractively presented and well-equipped facility. The open plan teaching block was completed after the old school was destroyed during the Meckering earthquake in 1968 and completely refurbished following a fire at the beginning of 1998. A further alteration was carried out in 1999 when a Rural Integration Upgrade extended the size and facilities within the junior classroom to provide for Kindergarten and Pre-Primary students. The transportable administration area, new library building and a two-room pavilion complete the building facilities, with all areas being air-conditioned. An undercover area was erected in 2002, funded by the P&C, which provides a welcome shaded area for students and an outside area for school assemblies. The grounds are highly attractive with native gardens and lawn areas, which are fully reticulated. As part of the school vision, additional play equipment has been added to the school grounds and the tennis court has been resurfaced to allow for student and community use.

The students are typical country kids who care about each other, their school and their town. The senior students are excellent role models who take the time to play with the younger children, watch out for them and help them problem solve minor issues. The junior students look up to and admire the older students, highlighting the strong feeling of community emitted by the school.

Parents are welcomed and encouraged to be a part of Meckering Primary School community. Both the School Council and P&C are highly active and supportive in their respective roles. Parents value their school and commit considerable time and resources towards improving facilities, resources and learning opportunities. Camps and excursions are a significant feature of the annual program.

Meckering boasts a specialist music teacher and conducts LOTE (French) lessons via Webex sessions with a specialist French teacher at SIDE.

Each year, Meckering Primary students host a public Anzac Day Service, take part in Meckering Action Group busy bees and perform at various town functions.

Individualised instruction and attention is provided to each student by our exceptionally caring and highly skilled staff. Our students experience leadership opportunities consistently, including; Participating in Leadership Seminars (Local and in Perth), Presenting/Speaking at Community Events, Taking on Key Leadership Roles and Responsibilities within the School and Monitoring Fellow Students on the Bus.

In recent years ex-students have represented the State in cross-country, football, cricket and volleyball.

The town of Meckering is very proud of its Primary School. It understands the importance of the school to the community and it looks forward to Meckering Primary's strong and successful future.

Meckering is a strong community, which offers excellent facilities for the sports-minded through the Meckering Sporting Club.
