Dumbleyung Primary School was originally established in 1911. Student numbers reached over 210 in the early 1960s and in 1968 the school became a District High School. The school was reclassified to a Level 3 Primary School for the start of the 2000 school year. Our community celebrated the school's centenary in 2011.
Dumbleyung Primary School is a small, community-oriented school with 39 students from K-6. Students and staff are well-known to each other and feel a sense of belonging and pride in their school.
As a small school, we take advantage of opportunities not available to bigger schools and our students enjoy a range of experiences that enhance their primary education. Our small staff support each other to achieve great things for our students and all contribute to a positive and inclusive school culture.
The School has a very active Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association as well as supportive School Council. The school staff and community have formed a collaborative partnership to ensure a positive learning environment, allowing for optimum outcomes for all students.
