There is a remote possibility a primary school that escaped relatively unscathed from a deadly bushfire in Western Australia's southwest last month will not reopen, the education minister says.
Peter Collier said on Monday that Yarloop Primary School's 58 students were attending other schools in the region in the wake of the blaze, which killed two people and destroyed 162 houses.
"They will remain there until we deem it safe for the students to return to Yarloop, then as with all schools, we will assess its viability in the year or the years ahead," Mr Collier told the ABC.
"The school may not reopen but that's a very, very remote possibility."
