History
In 1938 Kahibah Public School was established as an Infants (early primary) school in the Kahibah Memorial Hall with an initial enrolment of 33 students and with a single teacher. By 1949 the enrolment had risen to 50 however the school still had only one teacher and a new, more permanent school that catered for all primary ages was needed.
After closing for a short time in 1951, with most students transferred to the school at Charlestown, it reopened as a Primary school in 1952.
After reaching an enrolment peak of approximately 450 in the mid-1970s enrolment has reduced during successive years to the current figure of 252.
