A teacher from a local School very close to where we were staying in Munglinup had contacted us via Facebook a few days prior asking us if we had the time to pop in to their school and see their students on our way west. The timing worked and we rode to Jerdacuttup Primary School with its total of 4 students. Yes, just 4, with 6 teachers.

We spent a short while with two of the students, the other half of the school had gone swimming, and learnt a little bit about their school. Located on the Infamous Rabbit Proof Fence and about 150kms west of Esperance The school has an interesting history. In 1964 local parents built a stone school where 8 children did lessons by correspondence. Later that year the Education Department appointed a teacher. The school then boasted 10 students. In 1966 a new building was added. The old stone school has been moved from its original location and is now a functional and inspiring music room within current school grounds. The school serves the community of mainly farms in the region.
