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.

North Dulacca Hall was officially opened on Friday 23 May 1913 by Godfrey Morgan, the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Murilla.[2] The hall has closed but the building is still extant (as at 2023). It was on North Dulacca Hall Road .[3]

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 .[4]
