School Profile |
|
|
Our school, situated approximately 50 kilometres west of Brisbane, is nestled in the picturesque D’Aguilar Ranges. The students of our school come from the families who have chosen to live in our very pleasant rural environment and include children from the local farming areas, Dayboro township and semi-rural acreages. Dayboro State School was established in 1874 and was known as Terrors Creek Provisional School. The present school site was built upon in 1920 to meet the needs of a growing Dayboro Community.

Dayboro is a Band 8 primary school with an enrolment of 345 students, including 46 Prep students at the beginning of 2008. Enrolment trends indicate a gradual but slow growth rate.
