Biographical history
Walleroobie Provisional School operated from September 1913 until December 1915 before it became a Public School in January 1916 and then closed in1943. It re-opened as a Provisional School in the county of Bourke in January 1954 until June 1957. (1) Provisional Schools were opened in areas of smaller populations where insufficient children attended to justify the opening of a full public school. By 1953 ten students were required to maintain a provisional school. Usually the Department of Public Instruction supplied the teacher, books and other teaching materials and the parents provided the premises for the School.
The School was converted into a public school in July 1957 when the classification 'Provisional School" was discontinued and the remaining provisional schools with a pupil population of at least nine were converted into public schools.
Walleroobie Public School closed in September 1969. (2)
