Helidon State School is a co-educational state school situated between Gatton and Toowoomba. There are about 100 students at the school. The school has all of the services of a 'big school' such as access to a Learning Support Teacher, Music Teacher, PE Teacher, Guidance Officer as well as visiting teachers. An Instrumental Music Program operates for students in Years 4 - 7. Throughout the year, an Options Afternoon occurs for our Year 5 - 7 students. The school has a close relationship with BUPA (a nursing home in Toowoomba).
