Kalbar State School was established 127 years ago in the picturesque Fassifern Valley. The school is situated in the Scenic Rim Shire, 45km south of Ipswich. Many of the school families rely on farming and primary industries as their major income source, however there is significant growth in the area. The school is undergoing a major redevelopment. A new Administration, Library, Hall and Canteen are in the process of being constructed. The total project costs are over six million dollars. Staff at Kalbar State School recognise that the fundamental goal of our teaching and learning program is to facilitate the development of literate and numerate students who can demonstrate agreed high standards. Physical Education plays a major role in the life of students. Each child receives over an hour of specialist time each week as well as involvement in the Smart Moves Program. Kalbar State School maintains strong community links: entrants into the Kalbar and Boonah shows, participation in the Kalbar Art Show, participation in Kalbar Country Day and ANZAC day Services. Through the school Project Club we also support a variety of charities. We have a very active and involved Parents and Citizens Association..
