Sharon is a co-educational state school located at 18 Sharon School Road, Sharon providing education to students from Prep to Year 7. Established in 1883, it services the small acreage residential area of Burnett Downs and surrounding farming community. It is located 13 kilometres from Bundaberg on the Gin Gin/Bundaberg road. Along with the local shop, Sharon School is the sole focus of the community with families regularly commuting to Bundaberg for both work and leisure. The community is very supportive of their school. One of the strengths of our school is a dedicated Parents and Citizens Association who willingly support their school in the pursuit of its goals. It is the major formal parent body in the school. Parents can also be seen supporting the school through fund raising, classroom support and a rostered volunteer tuckshop. Another strong indicator of family values and support for the school is reflected through consistent wearing of uniform at the school every day. Families have high academic expectations of both their children and the school.
