Wolvi State School is located in a picturesque area within the Cooloola Shire, situated on a mountain ridge approximately 22 kilometres to the east of Gympie along the Kin Kin Road. The school is currently a Band 6 school delivering Prep to Year 7 primary educational programs. It was previously known as Neusavale Provisional School, then in 1906 moved to its present location and was established as Wolvi State School. The school, hall and general store are the only facilities within the district and form the heart of the community. The community is made up of many diverse farming ventures in the area including the growing of citrus fruits, macadamia nuts, tropical stone fruits, pineapples, crayfish-farming, dairying and beef cattle. The community is made up of a mixture of rural and urban workers. A percentage of parents have moved to Wolvi to seek a rural lifestyle.
