About this school, from public sources
Public information about Marra Creek Public School describes it as one of the most isolated government primary schools in NSW, located far north of Nyngan near the Macquarie Marshes in the state's west. It is a very small K-6 school with only a handful of students, giving it an unusually low student-to-teacher ratio compared with typical schools. Sources note its long history, with the Department of Education's first teaching appointment dating back to 1971.
