History

The Bulyee School first opened in 1929, staying open only until 1930. In 1933, it opened again and stayed open until 1940. It remained closed though the war years, and reopened for a year in 1947. At that time school bus services were transporting students to Corrigin District School. 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.
