Blanchetown Primary School and Waikerie Primary School to amalgamate

Student enrolment at Blanchetown Primary School has decreased significantly over the past decade.

Following thorough community consultation during 2025, the school community have voted in favour to close Blanchetown Primary School and amalgamate with Waikerie Primary School at the end of 2026.

For 2026 there are no students enrolled at Blanchetown Primary School, leading the Department for Education to suspend services for the remainder of the year.

To support families in the Blanchetown area, bus services are available to assist students travelling to and from school.

In the coming months, a dedicated support team will be established to ensure the amalgamation process considers the needs of the community. The Department will also continue regular maintenance of the school grounds, including safety checks on buildings, prior to determining the future use of the site.

If you have any questions, please contact us on dl.0571.info@schools.sa.edu.au or (08) 8540 5041.
