Nebo State School is a small school located an hour SW of Mackay on the Peak Downs Highway. The school caters for children from Prep to Year 7 in a multi-age setting. The school staff consists of a teaching principal and classroom teachers as well as a team of support staff. The families of workers in the coal mining and the cattle industries make up a large proportion of our students. The school is well-provisioned with library and technology resources. Isaac Shire Council facilities of swimming pool, library, hall and oval are regularly used and conveniently located. Strong community support assists with the continuing development of the school facilities. Partnerships and support from local mining companies also continue to benefit the school. The curriculum offers students opportunities in key learning areas with a focus on literacy and numeracy. A literacy block every morning is based on writing and operates throughout the school. Students attend an annual literary festival, learn Latin dancing and enjoy performances and performing. Nebo school children are involved in citizenship activities including Anzac Day and Community Christmas Fair.
