I have been thrilled to join Dookie Primary School this year, and it is an honour to be part of such a vibrant and supportive community.

I thoroughly enjoy working alongside the staff, students, families, volunteers, and community groups, and together we are making 2025 a successful and enjoyable year of learning and growth.
Dookie Primary School (No.1527) is celebrating its 150th anniversary, a significant milestone.
The community is invited to join the celebration on Saturday, October 11, from 10am to 4pm.
The festivities will include a historical walk through the last 15 decades, displays of past photos and uniforms, and school tours.
A BBQ lunch and baked goods will also be available, and we encourage everyone to participate in the various activities.
The school’s history began with Rural School No.136 in 1872, with the first construction of State School 1527 opening on February 1, 1875.
Our school community is proud to have strong links with local organisations, including the Dookie Lions Club, nourishing Dookie volunteers, Dookie Men’s Shed, and Dookie RSL, who have provided invaluable support and opportunities for our students.
This anniversary is a celebration of our past and a recognition of the vibrant, interconnected community that continues to support our students.
It is also a chance to reconnect with former students and staff.
Dookie Primary School has been a cornerstone of the community, and we look forward to everyone coming together to honour this special occasion.
