History
editBogandilla 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.[3]
North Dulacca Hall was officially opened on Friday 23 May 1913 by Godfrey Morgan, the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Murilla.[4] The hall has closed but the building is still extant (as at 2023). It was on North Dulacca Hall Road (26°26′41″S 149°49′19″E / 26.44483°S 149.82196°E).[5][6]
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°27′15″S 149°47′59″E / 26.45424°S 149.79963°E).[7][8]
