Byfield State School is a small school located approximately 40 kilometres North of Yeppoon in the Capricornia region of Central Queensland. With mountains to the immediate West, national parks and coastal dunes to the East, Byfield is only accessible from the South. The natural beauty of the area makes it attractive to tourists, holiday makers and campers.
Originally the Byfield area was a primary industry area where dairy farming, fruit growing and forestry were the main industries. In 1948 after a few failed attempts of maintaining a school, the community again petitioned the government for a school. From that year, an education service has been successfully maintained in Byfield.
Lessons commenced in what is now called ‘Byfield Hall’. Historically the community has celebrated milestones from this year. The current school began classes in 1960 and is about 300 metres from the old school.
Today, the children of Byfield State School come from the local area where most families live because of lifestyle choices. Our school is seen as an important part of the local community.
Our school vision is 'grow from challenges, engage through actions, and be happy in oneself'.
