Trebonne State School is a public co-educational primary school located in the town of Trebonne, Queensland, Australia.[1][2] It is administered by the Queensland Department of Education, with an enrolment of 10 students and a teaching staff of two, as of 2023.[2] The school serves students from Prep through to Year 6.[1][2] Due to the school's low enrollment figures, the school collaborates with a number of other schools within the region on curriculum development and in inter-school sporting events.[3]

History

A tender of £142 was accepted by the Government for the erection of the school in June 1906.[4] The school opened on 7 November 1906 as a provisional school, named as Upper Trebonne Provisional School and became a state school in 1909, which changed its name to Upper Trebonne State School.[5] It was renamed to its current name in 1932.[5]

In October 1909, it was announced that Alfred Herbert Anderson would be transferred from Apple Tree Creek to the school to become the foundation principal.[6][7] He was transferred from the school to the Department of Justice in 1911[8] as the acting clerk of petty sessions, and by 1912, he was the deputy land commissioner and acting land agent for the Winter Land Agent's district.[9]

Demographics

In 2023, the school had a student enrollment of 10 with two teachers (1.3 full-time equivalent) and six non-teaching staff (1.9 full-time equivalent). Female enrollments consisted of five students and Male enrollments consisted of five students; Indigenous enrollments accounted for a total of 0% and 13% of students had a language background other than English.[2]
