History

Bogandilla Provisional School opened circa July 1918 as a half-time school (a teacher shared their time between 2 schools) with Noonga Provisional School, but became a full-time provisional school in 1919. Although Noonga is not an official place name as at 2019, there is a Noonga Creek in neighbouring Jackson North which is likely to be the location of the other school. It was closed in 1927 due to low student numbers.[4]

Dulacca North State School opened on 28 January 1919. It closed in 1936, but reopened in 1941. It closed permanently in 1953. It was on the south-west corner of Dulacca North Road (previously North Dulacca School Road) and Frizzells Road (26.45424°S 149.79963°E / -26.45424; 149.79963 (Dulacca North State School (former))).[5][6]
