History & overview

History of Dumbleyung Primary School

The school, opened in 1911, has a warm and welcoming community whose enthusiasm can be felt throughout all school activities and functions.

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.

In 2011, the Dumbleyung Primary School celebrated its 100 years, which had high significance to the community and its members.
